| | Hypothetically speaking... made by @bitterstardust
These are all hypothetical multiple choice situations. Bold the action you would take in each situation, & then answer the questions that follow.
1. You win 11 million dollars, however, you have three options, you can either: a. Donate every cent to a charity of your choice. b. Can only spend 100,000 dollars of it a year until you run out, but do with it as you please. c. Split it evenly amongst you & eleven family members / friends.
Which would you choose & why? Would not donating it to charity make you feel guilty at all? If you chose B, would you donate some of that toward charity? How would you react to winning something like that?
2. A motherless kitten with a broken foot is found at your doorstep, you can either: a. Take it in & tend to it as best as you can & keep it as your own. b. Take it to the nearest animal shelter & let them deal with it. c. Leave it out to fend for itself.
Why did you choose what you did? What if it were a snake with a damaged tail, would you handle the matter in the same fashion? Have you ever had to give up your own personal pet to an animal shelter? What was the reason behind it? What do you think about people who think that cats / dogs should be killed because there are so many of them populating the world?
3. You are shown an envelope that can either have $2,000, two tickets to any country of your choice, or a stick of gum in it. It costs you $2 to buy this envelope. Would you.. a. Pass on buying it because you don't want to waste $2 on just a chance. b. Buy the envelope with the hopes that you get something good.
If you chose a, skip the rest of this altogether. If you got the $2,000, how would you spend it? Or would you save it? If you got the two tickets, where would you go & who would you take with you? If you got the stick of gum, would you be angry, or just disappointed? 4. Your [possibly hypothetical] sibling is a single parent to a one year old child. Your sibling is hit by a car & is in a coma, but the child is safe. a. Would you step up & take the position of temporarily taking care of the child? b. Would you leave it up to someone else, such as the grandparents, to tend to the child? c. Would you seek out the child's father in the hopes that he would take the child in?
At your current age & living situation, would you even be capable of raising a child, temporarily, on your own? Who would you hope would look after your child if you were in that sort of a situation? Could you handle the pressure of taking care of that child even if you were well off & old enough to take care of a child? Now, let's refer back to the first question of this survey. If you had that 11 million dollars, & you were told that giving up half of it would ensure that your sibling was brought out of the coma, would you give it up? 5. Your house is caught on fire. You are the only one home, therefore everyone else is safe. The nearest window to you is easy to get out of, but you only have enough time to grab a couple of items. a. Do you forget about the material items & take all of the time you have to get yourself out? b. Do you grab a couple of items & take them with you?
Are there even any material items that are that important to you? ^ If so, what are they, & why are they so important to you? ^ How would you feel if those items burned up & you could never see / touch them again? What if there was a family pet stuck in another part of the house? Would you risk taking the time to attempt a rescue, or would you leave that to the firemen?
