Case Study: The Unarmed Samaritan

by Larry Harper

Humanities/Philosophy

One Tuesday afternoon you are driving along the highway between I-70 and Hanksville (about 45 miles of little-traveled road during the middle of the week), and see three men savagely beating on a fourth man. One of the three attackers is holding a gun and waving it threateningly at the victim. You're alone and have no CB radio or, for that matter, any kind of reliable weapon.

Questions:

What are you going to do?

What might be the results of your decision?
