What would you do if you found

$300 on the ground? Explain.I would see if anybody in the area is looking for the money. If there was somebody looking for it, I would obviously give it to them. But if not, I would take it because it was the owner’s responsibility anyway.

If you and an elderly person got onto a bus with one seat left, what would you do? Explain.I would let the elderly person take the seat because it would be doing a favour, and taking the seat myself would be acting selfishly.

Right is something that af-fects you and others in a positive way while wrong af-fects everyone in a negative manner.

Section V (continued)4. Greetings: greetings

are considerably impor-

tant at home. My parents

take them seriously, since

people older than you.

comes home, me and my

sister say ‘hello’ or ‘wel-

come back’ or something

similar.
