Right, Wrong, Scenario

Recently, we had a discussion in class on ethics that resulted in me rethinking and modifying certain beliefs.

We were given certain scenarios on which a character was faced with an ethical dilemma. In one the persona 'had' to steal to get to his friends wedding at which he was supposed to be the best man. In another an IB teacher was torn between reporting a student he caught cheating and destroying his life, and letting the situation go (or take some other kind of action).

There are certain values i hold dear, like honesty and intergrity but I have recently also had to consider scenarios... If the situation was such that the bride would die of cancer the next day, and it was unequivicably imperative that the bestman was present, and his only means of getting there was by stealing..., as far as I'm concerned right and wrong becomes muddled up. I believe that there is no right or wrong, only scenario...not completely, otherwise we would not have a credible world, but to a large extent (maybe 70%).

What would you say?

Questions that you may not be able to answer...

1, When you think of a number, for example 7, what color do you think it has?
2, When you think of a days of a week, for example friday, what color do you think it has?
3, When you think of alphabet, like E, what color do you think it has?

It is better if you could give reasons for your answers. Thank you!
