Suppose you work in a library, checking people’s books as they leave, and a friend asks you to let him steal a hard-to-find reference book that he wants to own.
You might hesitate to agree for various reasons. You might be afraid that he’ll be caught, and that both you and he will then get into trouble. You might want the book to stay in the library so that you can read it yourself.
But you may also think that what he proposes is wrong--that he shouldn’t do it and you shouldn’t help him. If you think that, what does it mean and what, if anything, makes it true
To say it’s wrong is not just to say it’s against the rules. There can be bad rules which stop what isn’t wrong--like a company rule against criticizing the boss. A rule can also be bad because it requires something that is wrong--like a law that looks down upon black people in hotels and
A. Because those rules are said to be strongly negative.
B. Because he wants to show that rules are not the criteria for judging right or wrong.
C. Because those rules are made in order to stop what is wrong.
D. Because he wants to support the argument that stealing a book is not a crime.
