Homework Week 1

Scenario 1:

You and your friends are hanging out on a Friday night. One person suggests that everyone go to her house because her parents aren’t home. She also suggests that she has recently watched a movie and loves it so much that she’s already watched it five times. The movie is rated R.
-My stance would depend on other factors in the scenario. For example, is it all girls or is it a mixed group? How large is the group? Why is the movie rated R? Am I close with these people? Is her home far from my home? etc. I don't think I have very many moral issues with this scenario except for questions about the movie and what we're going to be doing at her house. If everything was ok, then I would go, but only after asking my parents for permission.

Scenario 2:
Beyonce (or pick your favorite secular artist) has decided to come back to Hong Kong for another series of concert performances. This time, her new album and concert will feature more sex-related content and some partial nudity. In the cafeteria, your friends are discussing whether or not to buy tickets.
-I typically do not go to concerts like these because they are really expensive and usually overcrowded. I definitely would not go to this concert because most of my favorite secular artists are male, and I don't really want to see any junk dangling around. It's also a moral issue for me because it's a pretty scandalous event, if there is going to be partial nudity in the concert. Also, my parents would definitely not let me attend.
