  • The second has nothing to do with capitalism. They are ethical questions that have nothing to do with political systems or governments. They’re meant to have you think about things in a deeper manner. There’s a lot less to think about with the second than the first and thus doesn’t really matter in an educational setting.


  • Like I said, you’re making a lot of assumptions about the first that aren’t stated. Here’s a few to get you started, though there’s many many many others.

    1. You are stealing from a starving family
    2. You are about to die from old age and are stealing from a very young person
    3. You just got out of jail for murdering an immigrant and are only starving due to your own life decisions
    4. You are starving because you wasted all your money gambling
    5. You are stealing from a baby

    Etc etc etc











  • I think you’re both right, but this is a great reason for ISO8601. This weekend is the weekend in the current week. In most of the world it’s Monday-Sunday which makes this way clearer, in which case he would have said “next weekend” and you would be completely correct, but if you’re in a country that starts on a Sunday then “this weekend” is two things. Sunday and Saturday, with 5 days in between. Since you were already in part of the two parter you could only be referring to the next part, the upcoming Saturday, part of this week.
