Truth or Else

Your mother just called in a panic to say she needs you, but you promised your niece you'd take her out to get ice cream. What do you do?

Take your niece out for ice cream; you made a promise and you must stick to that

Ask your mother about her panic. Perhaps with another perspective she'll calm

If you immediately think you should go to your mother, go to your mother

Go to your mother; despite disappointing your niece, this is more important

A burglar comes to your home and demands to know where you've put your mother's jewelry. What do you do?

Tell him, because it is immoral to lie.

Don't tell; it's important to understand the implication that they will be taken

Lie. The burglar is already in the wrong by stealing in the eyes of society

Whichever you pick, make sure it is within the best behaviour possible.

There is something you want to do that you instinctively feel is morally right, but the society around you thinks it's morally wrong. Do you do it?

The question itself is invalid. There's one, universal answer to a moral problem

Try to understand the perspective of the rest of society. Perhaps you're biased.

If you believe you're right and have the option to dissent with society, dissent

Go with society, because society determines what is good and bad.

Do you believe your decisions are more based on your reason or emotion?

Reason

I don't believe that the two are separate

Both, but perhaps emotion a little more

I'm trying to get them to be more reason-based

Do you believe that it is dangerous to rely on emotion for your moral decisions?

Yes. There is no sense of morality in emotions alone

Yes, I believe that emotion is important in moral judgements

No. It is important to include emotion with reason in moral decisions.

Without societal influence, yes

Do you think it is dangerous to rely on reason for your moral decisions?

Not at all

Yes. I think it is dangerous to believe that you are totally rational

As long as it is not entirely; you must include some emotion in decision-making

Yes, as long as my reason agrees with the rules of society around me

Do you believe in giving someone who has faced an overwhelming amount of obstacles special treatment?

No. Everyone has the same amount of moral responsibility, so no outs.

Yes. Everyone lives life from a different perspective, and some need more help.

No, because those in power will never let it go

As long as they actually need it and helping them would be a benefit to society

What genre(s) of music do you listen to most?

Anything with a good tonal structure.

It depends on who I'm around, and what feeling I'm trying to obtain.

I like to listen to a good balance of everything

Depends on my mood. Sometimes dance-y, sometimes slower.
