Enrichment Activity:
Dilemma
1. At the airport, you saw a
woman dropped her
passport while getting
into the taxi. You got the
taxi’s plate number.
2. You wanted to go home
but the queue for taxi is
long and it is raining. A
stranger offered you a
ride home.
3. A friend told you a
secret. Another friend is
asking you to share with
him/her the secret.
4. You aren’t prepared to
take the exam, but you
cannot afford to fail in
the next exam. A friend
offered you the answer
key to the exam.
5. Your parents will be
away for the weekend.
You were asked to stay
home until they are back.
I SWEAR
What will you do?
Firstly, I will check if there is any contact
number on the passport. If none then I will
go to the police station to give the passport
and tell them the plate number of the taxi so
they can confirm where the owner lives or
use its information on the passport to find
her.
I would decline the offer of a ride home from
the stranger. I would patiently wait for a taxi
or a jeep to get home safely. If there are any
waiting sheds, I will wait there so that I will
not get wet from the rain.
I will tell her that the secret my friend shared
with me is between me and him. He/she
trusted me that’s why he/she shared the
secret with me. I will not break that trust
that my friend has on me. So, don’t ask me
again.
I will respectfully decline it. If I accept the
offer and took the answer key, it will be
called as cheating. And I would not like to be
called a cheater if someone noticed or
caught me with the answer key.
As a 19-year-old student, even though I’m
already old enough to be home alone I
would still raise my guard up. We’ll never
know when danger strikes at us. I’ll make
sure that every door and windows are locked
Why?
Because I know what it feels like to
lose something that is valuable to me
and it’s her passport, who knows how
much time it took her to get one.
My mother would always tell me “Do
not speak or go with any stranger that
you will encounter”. If a person speaks
to you offering you a ride or anything,
decline it. You’ll never know if
something bad happens if you accept
it.
A friend who trusts you is one of the
best feeling in the world. I have never
backstabbed anyone on my circle of
friends because never have I ever saw
them do it to me. There is a saying
“Don't do unto others what you don't
want done unto you.”
 Confucius
You might get an A on a test or an
assignment, but you’ll know that you
really didn’t earn it. Cheating just
makes you feel bad about yourself.
Cheating hampers progress. Every
time you cheat, you’re not learning
skills and lessons that could be
important later on.
Being left alone in a house with your
siblings will be a big responsibility for
the oldest and that’s me. It is my job
to make sure that my siblings and
myself are safe and eating well while

every mess, I make so that my parents won’t make sure that when our parents get

on. But it doesn’t mean that if you
want it your parents has to go and get
it for you. Life today is hard, earning
money in this pandemic is a bit
impossible. So why not be thankful for
what you have and stop asking for
what other people has that you
yourself cannot afford.

Processin  Did you hesitate for a moment in answering each item on the list? Why or why not?
g  No, I did not hesitate to answer any of the questions above. I am confident and sure that my
Questions answers are good and I know that if that situation also happened to me then I would do the same
thing I said above.
 How did you feel while thinking about what you will do? What guided you when you made your
decision?
  I felt a bit conscious but great in the end. Growing up my mom would always teach me about
stuffs on what to do when you’re in trouble or someone is. With the guide of my parents while I
grow up it made me learn a lot of things and educated me on proper ways on how to interact
with people.
 Has any of these situations happened already in the past? Did you take the same action response?
Why or why not?
 The bullying part happened to me when I was in elementary. I some students bullying a little girl,
pulling her hair and hurting her by slapping her face. We were all in 6 th grade and I was alone that
time when I saw them. 3 bullies and 1 girl being bullied, I immediately called our teacher for them
to take action and ever since then me and the girl being bullied became friends. The 3 bullies
were suspended for a week and their parents were mad at them. I’m glad I helped her and I’m
happy to see her smile as she grows up.
 Do you believe in the inherent goodness of a person? Why or why not?
 I believe we are inherently and genuinely good from birth (or as children) but through our social
indoctrination (school, work, social circles and social norms), we become cold and calculated,
caring more for our own well-being than the well-being of everyone.  But I do believe people are
inherently not predisposed to do evil (i.e., cause harm to other people). In fact, empathy - an
emotion that lies at the root of compassionate and social behavior - seems hard-wired into our
brains.
