Roger Smith, a quite competent swimmer, is out for a leisurely stroll. During the course of his walk he passes by a deserted pier from which a teenage boy who apparently cannot swim has fallen into the water. The boy is screaming for help. Smith recognizes that there is absolutely no danger to himself if he jumps in to save the boy; he could easily succeed if he tried. Nevertheless, he chooses to ignore the boy’s cries. The water is cold and he is afraid of catching a cold — he doesn’t want to get his good clothes wet either. “Why should I inconvenience myself for this kid,” Smith says to himself, and passes on.

1.) There are always TWO sides to a conscience. What would Roger’s conscience be telling him?

Rogers conscience was telling him that what is that boy that is far more important than me his conscience is telling him that who cares why should save besides i have better things to do than save a life. this is showing that Roger’s moral development theory is very low as he places his own clothes deemend more important than a poor innocent life.

2.) Think of an example of Jesus’ teaching and explain how his teachings can help us to make an appropriate decision?

One the most common teaching that jesus told us was that “love one another as i have loved you” this quote tells us that we must love one another like jesus that we would do anything for the ones we love also those who are need of love and compasion as they are the ones who need the ost guidence in life.
