You are an eyewitness to a crime

Step 1) Please read the following scenario (h/t: https://www.buzzfeed.com/tracyclayton/moral-dilemmas-that-will-break-your-brain ):
You are an eyewitness to a crime: A man has robbed a bank, but instead of keeping the money for himself, he donates it to a poor orphanage that can now afford to feed, clothe, and care for its children. You know who committed the crime. If you go to the authorities with the information, there’s a good chance the money will be returned to the bank, leaving a lot of kids in need. What do you do?

Step 2) Truly imagine you are in that situation and then decide what you would do. Specifically, decide if you are on “Team Snitch” or “Team No-Snitch”?

Step 3) In Part One of your paper, state which team you’re on and then explain why. Be specific. Please note that your answer must be fairly detailed, and both relevant and linked to the scenario. For instance, “I just don’t believe in snitching” is a perfect example of an incomplete and thin answer.

Step 4) In Part Two of your paper, please accomplish 2 things:
a) Think about an allocentric/collectivistic person who lives in an individualistic culture (e.g., think about someone who is from, say, Senegal, West Africa, and now lives in St. Louis, MO, USA). Describe how you think this person would typically respond in this sort of situation. Answers won’t necessarily be ‘cut-and-dry’. Be clear, clearly explicate the rationale behind your answer.
b) Think about an idiocentric/individualistic person who lives in a collectivistic culture (e.g., think about someone who is from, say, St. Louis, MO, USA, and now lives in Senegal, West Africa). Describe how you think this person would typically respond in this sort of situation. Answers won’t necessarily be ‘cut-and-dry’. Be clear, clearly explicate the rationale behind your answer.
