CASE STUDY #1

Moral attitude

Zahid comes back to his village after having intense training for joining a charity based
welfare association to have a nice time with his only friend, Fareed, who is preparing for
the civil services.

Zahid is always a nice dresser and as usual he is wearing a clean white shirt with
expensive pant and branded shoes. They visit to a roadside tea shop to have a cup of
tea.

A nine years old boy works at tea shop brings two cups of tea with biscuits to them on
his master’s order. Zahid is on a phone call, unaware of his standing behind him,
accidently touches the tray carrying tea cups. Hot tea spills over his white shirt and cups
are broken into pieces on the ground. The owner of the shop beats the boy badly with a
stick in front of all.

Question:

What would be your reaction as a human being keeping yourself in Zahid’s place?

If i am in Zahids place honestly my reaction if the boy spilled me in my dress, honestly i will be very
pissed but if i saw a kid beated because of me i will be very guilty. I will talk to the owner that he didnt
meant do it and it was an accident and it was okay for me even he spilled me because i cant take a guilt
because of me.
