Discussion about Ethics.

Today we had our class in nomal class room and we discussed ethical matters.
The topic we discussed was that who should we rescue first from the tunnel.
There were many people we should rescue and it was very difficult to choose people.
We were given some profile about each person. For example, a man who is alcoholic, a scientist who study HIV, a sports teacher, a fat woman, a woman who have affair with another guy and so on.
It is very difficult to judge people by only these information.
This is because when I said that a man who is alcoholic should not be rescued first Rab told us that what if the reason why he became alcoholic is that his wife cheated on him.
Then Rab also asked this question, " Do you care about the reasons or backgrounds? Or do you care about only the results?". Then I realized that I always care about the reasons or backgrounds not the results. However there are many friends in BC who only care about results. Each people think in different way.
Ethics depend on people's way of thinking. There are no general ethics which all people accept.
Ethics is different from people to people depending on their culture, religion, backgrounds or personalities.
This first discussion is very interesting for me , because it is very different from discussions we did in spring or autumn term. We didn't use ELP reader and did discussion about ethics freely.
I think this discussion is more meaningful than just reading ELP reader and answering questions about ELP readers.
I could think about ethics and people's perspective deeply in this discussion!!!
I am very excited to do new discussion next non-computer class;)
