Moral Muteness blog #4

To answer this blog post I want to look at how I answered to a “moral muteness” situation and not how I didn’t.  This is because as I have gotten older I have grown to understand the true importance of morals and the values I strive to live by.  My example is when my father and I went into New York City to see Gabriel Iglesias for my eighteenth birthday.  Before the show we were sitting outside of the Radio City Hall and there was a group making fun and throwing things at a homeless man picking change out of the fountain.  Now the moral muteness that we noticed was the families walking by didn’t do anything to stop this group.  So as this continued my father and I walked over and told them to leave the guy alone.  I think that the values my father have taught me is why we both got up feeling that this was wrong.  One of my big moral values being pulled at was how you should always treat people how you wanted to be treated.  Also to help those who are less fortunate or can’t defend themselves. This man wasn’t harassing anyone like most people begging or scamming in NYC and this group decided it would be fun to mess with him.  After we asked the group to leave the guy alone the man thanked us and we bought him some food before heading into our show.  As weird as it sounds for myself I had this pit in my stomach feeling that something needed to be done or said.  Overall this experience showed how moral muteness was present and how it could be answered to help someone.
