#1
Your grandparents had a pet bird they loved like family. Both grandparents have passed away, and now no one else can take care of it. You don’t like animals and don’t want that responsibility.

#3
You have two job offers: 1) Ethical engineering job – smaller pay, aligns with your values, allows you to work on meaningful engineering projects. 2) AI content job – produces large volumes of AI-generated stories for social media. Pays twice as much, looks great on your resume, but you feel the work is unethical and wasteful.
#4
Your front-door neighbor is a lovely elderly man whom you like, but he loves long chats. You’re not in the mood to talk today. You notice him leaving at the same time you are about to leave.

Be on the phone, speaking like it's an emergency until you get into your car.
#5
You are a bridesmaid, and you accidentally spill coffee on the back of the dress 5 minutes before the ceremony, but she doesn’t notice, and you’re the only one behind her. Do you tell her or let her go out?
#6
You have just drunk half a gallon of water. You need the toilet, but you’re running late to catch your 7-hour overnight bus journey, so you can’t miss it. When you enter the bus, the only toilet on board is out of order, and no stops are permitted. The driver can let you out mid-journey, but will not allow you back in.
#7
A family member abandoned their leased home to avoid paying bills (leaving all their stuff behind) before the landlord even knew about it. The landlord is a genuinely great guy who’s always gone out of his way for them, but now faces mounting bills and cleanup costs.
Linda Paulson 2 hours ago
If I helped the landlord the other people would think I'm taking sides.
#8
You eat at this restaurant often. In the past, they’ve accidentally overcharged you more than once, but you only noticed later. Today, you got the receipt and saw they’ve undercharged you.
Claire Holman 8 hours ago
Usually if you're undercharged, that money is deducted from the staff member that served you. Overcharging is another matter, and if you were regularly being overcharged, I feel you would mention it after the second time.
#9
It’s an office day, and on a break, you overhear coworkers gossiping about someone unfairly. What’s your reaction?
#10
You’re in a rush to get to work, but need a pick-me-up coffee. While waiting in line at your neighbourhood café, someone suddenly cuts ahead of you.
#11
A stranger asks you to hotspot them for 10 minutes. You don’t know them at all, and while it seems harmless, sharing your connection could expose personal data or create other unforeseen risks. On the other hand, refusing might seem rude, and the person might genuinely need it for an urgent reason.
#12
You’re feeling exhausted after a long day – headache, sore back, and stressed from work. A mom enters the bus you are on with a 3-year-old and heavy grocery bags.
#13
Your friend from school is running a marathon. Yesterday, in the moment, you promised to cheer them on and then automatically regretted it. This morning, you don’t feel like going.
#14
A friend told you a secret. Months later, you’re having a chat with another mutual friend, and you let it slip out.
Helena 5 hours ago
If you want to keep a secret, you never tell it to anyone. That person will likely remember your conversation, not the 2 second 'this is a secret' disclaimer and will accidentally share your secret not remembering the secret part. Unless it was an obvious secret like where you hid the body.
#15
Your friend buys their child everything they ask for, even expensive items. You feel the kid is becoming increasingly spoiled. Do you speak up or keep your opinions to yourself?
#16
During a family vacation, you see someone secretly taking money from your grandmother’s wallet. You’re certain it was Bill, your uncle. No one else noticed. Reporting it will ruin his reputation in the family - and you genuinely care about your uncle.
#17
You’re working on a team report at work. You’ve finished your part, and your colleague completes it and sends it off - but there’s a major data error. The report is under both your names, and it’s one of the most important reports of your career.
#18
(Warning: a bit dramatic) You are driving to your sister’s house and lose focus for a bit. You’re about to hit someone. If you steer the wheel to the left, you’ll hit an elderly person crossing the road. If you steer the wheel to the right, you’re hitting your sister.
#19
Your friend asks you for money without mentioning what it’s for. You’ve known them for years, and you know they tend to spend money freely. You feel apprehensive.
#20
You’ve been friends with someone for 2 years and really enjoy their company. Close friendships matter a lot to you, and shared values are now a priority. Recently, your friend confided that they feel they were a “terrible” parent to their now-adult child. You know how much a bad upbringing can affect someone’s life, as you experienced it yourself. Knowing this about your friend, how does it affect your friendship?
David Paterson 6 hours ago
A person who feels like a terrible parent, wasn't. It's the parent who thinks that they're perfect that you have to watch out for, the psychotic.
#21
Your parents don’t like to have your partner at their home because he’s very messy. You were planning to spend your 2-week vacation at your parents' holiday house with your partner, but your parents have said they won’t allow him to stay there. You have no other plans for the vacation.
#22
You see a person collapsing on the street with a serious head wound. There’s no one else around to help. You’re sitting in the car with your baby, who is crying and needs to be fed soon.
#23
You are offered a well-paid job supporting military training systems. You need the income to support your family, but you worry your work indirectly supports wars and policies you morally oppose.
Crystalwitch60 2 hours ago
It doesn’t mean agreeing with wars, as a lot of the stuff on this level helps stop them as well ,
#24
You are in a sealed room with only enough oxygen to save one of three individuals. You have 3 minutes to decide. The three are: 1) A healthy, helpful, 25-year-old woman who is 8 weeks pregnant; 2) An 18-year-old autistic woman who is eager to work, learn, and contribute to society; 3) A 42-year-old police officer who applies unfair rules and harms vulnerable people.
#25
You want to wear a quinceañera-style Mexican dress to your first prom, but you’re not Mexican. You love the style because it makes you feel confident and beautiful, but you’re worried it might offend others or be cultural appropriation.
#26
You take a taxi to a friend’s dinner. The ride is smooth and comfortable, and the driver provides excellent service. However, during small talk, the driver says something that strongly conflicts with your political values.
#27
Years ago, you donated genetic material with your partner’s full agreement. Decades later, new laws and DNA tests let the children discover their identity. You want to meet them, but your partner strongly opposes it.

I didn't bother after reading queston 1. How could finding another home for the bird not be an option?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 3 hours ago
I think the point isn't to get morally outraged over made-up scenarios but to have the ability to imagine how you would react if constraints were placed upon you in a manner that the two (or three) answers for each question are the ONLY options available to you. They're not real situations, and of course if you found yourself in that situation in real life, you probably would not be under the imaginary constraints of the example problems above and would be free to choose other options (such as rehoming the bird.) But being unable to imagine how you would react in the situations above if you could ONLY perform one of the two/three answers shows that you are reacting with moral outrage at the constraints of the examples. I'm not saying they're GOOD examples, or that the options are always realistic, but one should be mentally and emotionally resilient enough to be able to imagine what one might do.

Interesting. I've given a talk on, and made a PowerPoint on, practical morality. But still I struggled with some of these.
