Question

You have seen your desired cell phone in a sale and you really want it. You have enough money saved, but you planned to use some of that to go out at the weekend with your friends. If you buy the cell phone you’ll have nothing left. That evening at home you overheard your mom telling your brother/sister that she had left in an envelope in their schoolbag the money for the schoolbooks he/she needed and that they had better not lose it. You and your brother/sister did not get on very well. You thought that he/she was a real know-it-all and he/she always makes fun of your friends. If you take the money, you would have enough to buy the cell phone and go out with your friends at the weekend. What would you do?

Answer 1

Not steal from my family? Is this for real?

Step-by-step explanation:

OK so you want to buy a cell phone, great. What about the data plan? Do you have enough income to pay for it every month?

If you don't, that means either your parents will pay it (in which case stealing is wrong) or you will have to earn more income to pay it (in which case stealing is wrong)

If you do, then you need to either save more or work more. Stealing is also wrong.

This is a pretty simple question to figure out. Your parents won't want to buy a cell phone for their kid that steals from them.
