The Langston Hughes short tale "Thank You Ma'am" describes Mrs.

Jones, a woman
who cared for Roger, a destitute youngster. My impression is that the author chose to
emphasize three primary values in it. Kindness, empathy, and trust. Despite nearly
being robbed by the youngster, Mrs. Jones decided to give him another chance. Mrs.
Jones put her trust in the youngster, and he learned a vital lesson as a result.  She
chooses to handle things in her own way because she didn't want him to go into
problems and perhaps end up in juvenile detention.

Overall, the narrative is quite plausible, but Mrs. Jones was gracious enough to
welcome a total stranger inside her house. The typical person wouldn't act in this way.
Particularly if that individual had made an attempt to steal your purse. In the Philippines,
teaching generosity to strangers begins at an early age. Filipinos often treat you kindly if
you don't do what Roger did, even if it is difficult to find someone who would act in Mrs.
Jones' manner.

Both characters make moral judgements that are completely at odds with one another.
One taught kindness while the other attempted to steal. Roger made an attempt to steal
Mrs. Jones' pocketbook but failed. Mrs. Jones chose to punish the innocent youngster
by inviting him to her house and teaching him a valuable lesson out of compassion
since she didn't want to subject him to the severe punishment of the law. The Filipino
way of life likewise exhibits this behavior. One of the most universal human qualities
that can be observed in many cultures is empathy.
