Question

ase 2 Stealing Food During wartime, Katia and her family have been starving because their town has been bombed and is under siege. She breaks into someone’s house, finds food in the kitchen, and steals it for her family. Is she justified in stealing in this instance? Why, or why not? Be specific. Would it make any difference if it were during peacetime but times were hard, and Katia couldn’t get a job and earn money to buy food? Why, or why not?

Answer 1

During the wartime, everyone facing hard time like Katia and her family.Most probably it may be possible that another family was also facing the same problem and they might reserve food in the kitchen for their survival.

Hence, it is both unfair and not justifies in any situation.

In other situation, during peacetime, it is also immoral and unjust because stealing is not the solution to her problem. It is much better for her to ask neighbours for some food in order to survive.
