What Would You Do?

Have you ever seen ABCs "What Would You Do?" show? It is a hidden camera show that puts ordinary people in an ethical dilemma to make an ethical decision on the spot. I really like the show because it is real, the situations are real and the peoples' responses are real. Many people say they would always do the ethical thing but when a situation actually comes up, people do not always follow through. The situations brought up on the show really make you think about your own ethics and how you might handle the dilemmas.

Some of the topics they have covered and some of my ideas for topics to cover:

Teen/kid bullying
Kid/teens bullying the elderly
Underage kids asking strangers to buy them alcohol
Customer's stealing a tip
Waiter/waitress providing diet suggestions to overweight patrons
Witnessing AIDS discrimination
Sexual discrimination
Racial discrimination
Age discrimination
Grandmother stealing in store
See someone dine and dash
Another customer breaking something in a store
see a date slipping something into partner's drink
Breastfeeding in public
Help a stranger get medications
A stranger being verbal/physical abused
A store clerk gave incorrect change to a blind customer


What would you do?
