Question

You are an eyewitness to a crime: A man has robbed a bank, but instead of keeping the money for himself, he donates it to a poor orphanage that can now afford to feed, clothe, and care for its children. You know who committed the crime--in fact, he is a friend of yours. If you go to the authorities with the information, there's a good chance the money will be returned to the bank, leaving a lot of kids in need. What do you do

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The is an ethical dilemma scenario. Remember, deciding what to do from an ethical standpoint involves careful thinking.

Hence, you are confronted with the decision to

• either report to the police who committed the crime or
• keep your mouth shut about who committed the crime.

Of course, robbing a bank is not a good deed generally speaking hence remaining silent follows a utilitarian view (which says whatever offers the greatest good for all is the right thing to do|).

Thus, the best decision should be decided by you based on this analysis.
