Discuss what you would do in this situation.

What I would do in this situation is that I would call the police and tell them all the details of what is happening. the reason I wouldn’t get invloved with the fight one would be that I don’t have any support to go in, two I am one young child aganist 3 older teenagers, because of this i would put myself in danger aswell as the elderly man.

Scenario 2: You get a message from a girl that you are interested asking you to come over her house. When you get there a number of her friends are present and they say they are bored. One of them promotes the idea of going for a walk and causing a riot. At first you tell them “No way”. However, the girl you like states that “she will like you more if you go”.

Discuss what you would do in this situation.

In this situtation what i would do would be that I would stand for my opinion even though the rest of the gamg will hate me. The reason for this decision is that I know it’s not a just decision and also it is not in myself to do that kind of unlawful act

If the Australian government was to ban the internet a huge chunk of our economy would fall as the major engines of the Australian economy (ASX) would loss much of its clients as these business rely on the internet to reach a wide range around the world, and for me and for everyone this would mean that the price of all products go up as the country is not recieving as much money as it would. It would also mena that PBL would be redundent at Parramarist high school.
