A Moral Dilemma Test
I GOT THIS EMAIL TODAY, AND JUST HAD TO SHARE IT. IT MADE ME ALL WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE! I HOPE IT DOES THE SAME FOR YOU ALL!
You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) simply answered:
"I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to
the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn
thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
On a worse note, I have two tests and two papers due next week :( And on top of all that, I'm going to the Pat Buchanan debate on Wednesday night. How exciting, me along with about 7 others, who are all Conservative. I don't know. I'll try to make the best of it I guess.
