What would you do?
Last night Luke went to his friend Wendy´s house. She invited him to watch mo-
vies. When Luke arrived to Wendy´s room, he noticed there was a new television
set.
They were watching a movie, when she told him the new TV they were watching,
was her new TV. It surprised Luke. Then, she brought a big box to the room. In-
side the box there were a lot of movies.
Wendy found the big box at the bus station. Outside of the box there was a label
with a name and an address. Wendy took and kept the box plenty of movies! She
realized that they were non authorized copies of Flms. She made a decision: TO
SELL THE ILLEGAL COPIES OF FILMS.
She earned a lot of money selling those movies. Luke couldn´t believe it! She
was keeping something property of someone else and selling illegal copies of
Flms!
Wendy insisted Luke could be part of “HER GREAT BUSSINESS”.
.. Now Luke
has a moral dilemma! He could choose between two or more alternatives:
a) Would he be involved on this? He could buy a TV too.
b) Luke needs help Wendy. He could talk to her parents.
c) He might denounce her. It is illegal.
d) Luke should say nothing. Keeping it in silence is better.
e) Luke might look for the owner of the box and tell the true.
