Week 1...What Would You Do...
Answer the following moral questions in the comment section... 1. A friendly dog is unhappy because he is tied up in the hot sun. If you untie the dog, it may get lost or caught by the dog catcher. No one is around. Do you set the dog free? 2. You are mayor. Most people in your city don't want to wear seat belts. However, there are a large number of injuries that can be prevented by seat belts. Do you make seat belts the law? 3.You pick up a ten dollar bill from under a kid's chair at school. Do you ask if he/she has lost money? Be sure in your response that your name appears somewhere!

1. If i was in that situation, I would not let the dog free. I would choose this decision because I was to let the dog free, it could get into more trouble or harm than it is in the sun. A little sun will never hurt a dog.
ReplyDelete2. If I were mayor and there were many injuries due to people not wearing there seat belts, I would make wearing a seat belt the law. I would do this because as the mayor, it is my job to keep the city safe in anyway possible and enforcing a seat belt law in this situation is a perfect example of keeping the city safe as best I can.
3. If i was in this situation, I would ask if he/she had lost money. I would do this because it wouldn't hurt me if I didn't have that ten dollars but it would hurt the other person to lose ten dollars. Had the ten dollars not belonged to him/her, i would keep the ten dollars for myself.
1) I would give the dog food and water,then report its unhealthy condition to the police. It is illegal in most states to risk a dog's health like that. 2) I would make a seatbelt law because as mayor it is my job to put safety first. 3) I would try to return the money instead of stealing it for myself. -Lauren Bartels
ReplyDelete1. In a situation like that the best thing to do is report to the authorities. If I result to taking the dog I will only get myself into possible legal trouble. If I report the wrongdoings of the dog owner, it would present a better case as well as provide the dog with a possible better home. Plus I'm scared of dogs so calling the authored would be my option. 2. Without a doubt I would make wearing a seatbelt the law. Although just because I in force it doesn't mean people will follow. At the end of the day they are in control of their own life. As the mayor the best I can do is inform them and provide the best advice I can give, the rest is up to them. if I did not inform them, then I would not be doing my job as a mayor. 3. I would ask the student if he dropped money not informing him the amount. If he told me that he dropped 10 dollars, obviously the money is his, and I would give it to him. Keeping the money is wrong, taking anything that doesn't belong to you is wrong. There is no if, and, or buys about it. -Seun Shittu
ReplyDelete1. If I was the person in the situation i would not set the dog free. Instead i would give the dog what it needed like food and water, then notify the authorities of a dog in unhealthy conditions. Reporting this to the authorities would mean that the dog could end up im better care and with a better family that will love the dog. 2. As a mayor of a town that has a great number of injuries that could be prevented by seat belt wearing I would make a seat belt law. The only thing that I would have to take in is what is considered an injury and what is not. If a person were to just only get a little scratch but that wee to count as an injury I would rethink tht law. 3. I would ask the student if he or she had lost some money earlier in the day. I would not though tell them the amount to make sure that it is really theirs. If the student says ten dollars I will give them the money. If the studemt were to say the wrong amount of money I would also know that they did not lose the money andi would bring the money to the office in hopes they find the person that lost it. Under no circumstance though should I take the money that does not belong to me.-Benjamin Roy
ReplyDelete1.try to bring the dogso waterand try to find the owner to tell him there dog is unhappy and needs tobe taken care of.
ReplyDelete2. you create a campain to talk about howthey save lives and you also give the people a incentive like a gift card or money at randomwhen you seethem wearing a seat belt
3. yes you talk to the person in fornt and if its not theres then talk tothe teacher
1. I would give the dog water and I would call the police because that would be the safest idea to do in the situation.
ReplyDelete2. If was mayor I would make wearing seat belts a law because I wouldn't want anyone in my city getting hurt. I feel this way because it would be the safest idea and I need to keep everyone safe.
3.If I have found the 10 dollars I would ask he or she if they had lost any money and if they said yes I would ask how much because you won't know if the person I ask is lying.
I would do this because it would be the right thing to do and I don't want the person who lost the money have no money at all that they would need it for
1) In this situation, the dog would need some sort of medical attention, so I would call the animal police to take the dog away and take care of it.
ReplyDelete2) If I was a mayor of a city I would enforce the rule to wear a seat belt, because it would keep the people safe. At the end of the day, it is about caring for your citizens and who would do it other than the mayor?
3)If I found ten dollars I would ask people around me if they had a missing amount of money, I would know whose money it belongs to by letting the person tell me the amount. It can happen to anyone so I would want the next person to help me out also. -Brianna E. Dewornu
1. If I were to see the dog I would leave it there for a couplen of reasons. One reason is because i wouldnt want to let it go and the dog end up being lost or in danger. Second reason is because someone couldve put thee dog there for a while and will come back to get it.
ReplyDelete2. In order to be mayor you have to make the right decsions to protect your people. If I were mayor I would make wearing seat belts a law only because it could save many lives. It wouldnt matter if people did not like seat belts because either way it could keep them out of danger.
3.If I found 10 dollars I would ask the person if it was their money only because I would want a person to ask me if I lost 10 dollars if they were to find it somewhere near me. Rather than just take it and not say anything.
1. If the dog is panting like its really hot and needed water i would try to find water as soon as i could and i would try to find shade somewhere to relocate the dog and wait for the owner.
ReplyDelete2. I would make seat belts the law because of all of the injuries that seat belts save regardless of public opinions because sometimes people need to be saved by themselves because they think they do but some people do not know better
3. I do ask if anyone has lost money because if i lost money i would want someone to let me know.
1.) I would tell the owner of the dog to give him some water to cool him down. 2.) I would make waering a seatbelt the law to prevent anymore injuries on the street, highway, etc. And it is also the mayor's duty to keep his citizens protected. 3.) I would ask if anyone lost money because they would do the same, if they were in my shoes.
ReplyDelete1. I wouldn't set the dog free because it could run away or get lost. But i would bring it some water and a few snack so the dog could at least feel a little better.
ReplyDelete2. I would definitely make seat belts a law because safety is always important and if that is the inly way to keep my people safe then that is what must be done.
3. If i found ten dollars under a person's chair, i would do the right thing and ask if it is theirs because i know if i was in their position and lost ten dollars i would feel pretty upset if someone stole my money.

1. I wouldn't let the dog go because I don't want it to get hurt because I couldn't catch it, but I would try and give the dog food if I can. 2. I would make sure wearing seatbelts is a law if I was mayor because people might not realize it but seatbelts do save lives. 3. I would give the person their $10 back because I've dropped money and people have given it back to me so I would do the same.
ReplyDelete1. I would not let the dog because it could get caught I would just bring it water.
ReplyDelete2. I would make everyone were seatbelts because it is more safe that not wearing a seatbelt. and it is also a law 3. if I saw someone drop their $10 I would give it back because, I would want someone to do the same thing to me and what goes around comes around.
1.yes I would set the dog free because it's better than being tied up.2.Yes because it's better than dying right.3.NOOOOOO FINDERS KEEPERS LOSERS WEEPERS :'(

1. I would call animal control because it is not my decision to make 2. I would make a seatbelt law because it is for the greater good of the community 3. I would return the money because it's not mine
