Loyalty or fairness, what is your overriding value?
Let’s say your best friend did something wrong to somebody you don’t know. Would you support him/her even though that you believe he/she was wrong?
Answers:
I think this is one of those questions that you can't really answer unless it happens to you. We would all like to think that we would do the right thing, but I should imagine a lot of us would support our friend. Depends also on the severity of the wrong doing I suppose. Obviously if it were a serious crime, I like to think the majority of us would do what was right.
No, I would not support them if they knowingly did something wrong. I would talk with them about it, but not support them in their decision.
I would tell them that i believed it could have been dealt with in perhaps another way, whilst relating the feelings of the wounded.. this would help them understand what their actions acomplished, afterall what are friends for ,, we expect the truth from our friends even though it sometimes may hurt xx if it makes us a better person at the end ov the day we should accept the consequences like an adult.. xx so i would appreciate any positive feedback given in a sensible way xx so therefore loyalty and fairness come together..
Yes.
No fairness & morals come before loyalty with me.
Being there and my answer is no. I would not report him/her but if questioned about it would tell the truth.
It has to be fairness. If you back your friends up when you know they are in the wrong, it can have bad effects for them, which would mean that you are actually being disloyal. Sometimes the most loyal friends are the one's who stand up to their friends and tell them that they are wrong
Fairness every time.
Both. My loyalty is to my religion, which teaches open-mindedness, compassion and fairness.
I would be supportive to my friend by showing him what harm he caused and helping him to understand that there would have been better ways of dealing with the situation
just tell them look youre my friend but
youre also an a**hole
No. If it's wrong then it's wrong. This person needs to exercise better self-control. Would this person like the same thing being done to them?? I'm willing to bet that, if a person that didn't know him/her and was the person on the receiving end of a "wrong doing", he/she would be quite upset. This is a convincing point in the event that this person does something that he/she wouldn''t like to have done to them. You do not have to speak your opinion in a loud,angry voice ( even if this person deserves it).Simply state, " how would you like it if someone did the same to you??
