Cami Krzciuk Mr. Mocadlo English 10 B 22 April 2024 Rough Draft Moral Dilemma Essay “I don’t know which sport I should give up,” “Well, what are the positives and negatives of both of them?” “Well wrestling has brought me happiness, and has taught me a lot of life lessons. The negatives are that my body is always worn down and tired. Softball has taken away my happiness, but taught me teamwork.” These are tough decisions kids may have to make, during their athletic career, leaving no good or right choice. Characters in movies, and in books, also have to face moral dilemmas such as, Batman and the Citizens of Gothem from the movie The Dark Knight, and George and Candy from the book Of Mice And Men.

The Joker informs both of these boats that both of the boats are equipped with a button which will blow the other boat up. One of the boats must blow the other up before midnight, or he will detinate both of them, killing everyone aboard them. A citizen from each boat stepped up, offering to push the button and have it blamed on them, the prisoner took the remote from the captain, and threw it out the ship and into the water, leaving what they thought was for themselves to die. On the other hand, the man from the civilian boat who stood up offering to press the button, to detinate the other ship, had got up in front of everybody with the button in hand. Yet he couldn't bring himself to touch the button either. So their decision was to let both of the boats detinate, instead of one boat killing the
