Re: Ethical question: What would you do if...

If it was a meeting in the shop, where we buy our sodas, I would probably feel that the money was 100% mine, since I paid for it. If we were meeting at someone's house, I think I would probably split the money with the person who provided the sodas... but how would I really know what I would do unless I was really in that situation? What if the meeting was at the house of someone I didn't really know? Or someone who I didn't really care for? Would I react differently than I would if I got the soda from someone I really liked and/or respected? And would there be a difference on how I felt if the soda was provided by someone who was financially well off as opposed to someone who was struggling to make ends meet? Another factor would be how my family was doing... they've had some money issues lately, and since I went back to school, I haven't been able to help them out, but if I won a million bucks and they were getting desperate, I would probably want all of the money to help them... heck, even if they weren't getting desperate, I would probably take all of the money just to get them moved out of the crappy little neighborhood they live in... so there you have it... I would want to share the money with the person who gave me the soda, which is (I think) the more ethical thing to do, but my concern for my family would probably lead me a little astray...
