Simple question
What, if any, is the moral and ethical responsiblity to the populous at large?
Scenario 1:
While walking down the street you observe a mugging take place. Two (apparently) unarmed thugs are robbing an unknown woman in broad daylight. There are no police within sight, and no one else seems to take notice or choose to intervene. What, if any, responsibility do you have?
Scenario 2:
The thugs in scenario #1 are now armed with hand guns. You are unarmed. The woman's life is in obvious danger. What is your responsibliity now?
Scenario 3:The woman in scenario #2 is now a close friend, or relative. What is your responsibliity now?
Answer these questions to yourself. If your answer differes from scenario-to-scenario, ask yourself why?
I borrowed this from a martial arts forum and thought that some of the people here might like to toss the idea around.
