Question

Anna does not have the admission fee to get into and amusement park. She convinces her friend, Steven,

to let her hide in the trunk of his car so that she can sneak into the park. She defends her actions by

saying that the loss to the amusement park is 'intangible" because no one was hurt and because she

did not really take anything of value. She also says that she is just a teenager who doesn't have as much

money as the rich owners of the park. Why is the theft wrong despite Anna's feelings?

Answer 1

Answer: see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario that has been discussed in the question, the theft is wrong despite Anna's feelings because Anna did not pay the admission fee to get into the amusement park. This ultimately leads to the reduction in revenue on the part of the owner of the amusement park.

Let's take a look at a scenario whereby everyone who got into the amusement park did exactly thesame thing that Anna did,this simply means that no one will pay and the owner of the amusement park might eventually close down due to the fact that he or she will run at a loss. Anna's decision to hide in the trunk and enter the amusement park isn't ethical as well.
