Leah says you shouldn’t keep found money because it’s stealing. Jack says to keep found money and spend the money to get a gift for his bus driver or for a good purpose. In my opinion, you shouldn’t keep found money. You should try and find the owner of the found $100 before you spend it on something else. From my point of view, if Leah and Jack take the found money they would be stealing and stealing isn’t the right thing to do.

I believe that if I were in that situation, I would try not to steal unless it became a life or death situation for me, or anyone that depended on me. I would try to avoid looting because I know that it would be intentionally harming the company that I was looting for, and also the community, both the economy and the reputation. Nonetheless, I believe that human lives are worth more than the stolen merchandise. If I or someone who depended on me were on the brink of death, I would steal from local stores to protect

Thieves want old cars because they are easier to steal than newer ones, and if they sell the parts individually they will usually get more money than the car itself was worth.

Is stealing considered ethical? According to Carol Gilligan, stealing may be the right thing to do if and when the scenario is right (Feminine Ethics: Ethics of Care). So what makes a situation suitable for stealing? Well that depends on a lot of things. First and most importantly though is the care involved. Carol Gilligan (2011) explains, “An ethics of care directs our attention to the need for responsiveness in relationships (paying attention, listening, responding) and to the costs of losing connection with oneself or with others. Its logic is inductive, contextual, psychological, rather than deductive or mathematical.” In other words, caring is ultimately about others, learning to put them first and emphasizing the relationships between friends and family. To do so, one must comprehend the following: understanding what stage of morality a person is going through, how they are care for others, the leadership roles that one possesses, how society and culture impact the development of the individual and the emphasis gender has on morality is also important in determining whether stealing is right or wrong. Identifying these things will help to better understand the ethical issues that follow and the theory used to describe it.
On the way to “Twister Two” one of my friends suddenly had a candy bar in his possession. When he was asked how he got it, he simply replied, “I stole it.” It was so amazing to me that he could do that, and act as if it was no big deal. To me stealing would be a thing that needed to be planned and executed, but to him it was just another place that he ripped off. He explained that it is easy to do, “you just grab what you want, wait ‘til no one’s looking, and then walk out.” This is when I first began pondering the idea of stealing. I had never stole before because I knew it was against my morals, but there was that rebel in me that wanted to try it. He, on the other hand, had probably stolen so many times that he could do it with his eyes closed, and he had never been caught. Lucky him.
