Given is a case with three subsequent situational-modifications, after reading all the three situations answer the given questions; Imagine you are a homeowner in a quiet suburban neighborhood, living with your family in a nice, large house. You make plenty of money, have plenty of food, and have extra bed-rooms; you never really have to worry about anyone being uncomfortable in the house. (i) One night, while working late at night you hear the sound of your doorbell and open the door - standing there is a homeless man. This man does not hold out a tin can or ask you for a donation. Instead, he asks you to let him into your home, feed him, and provide him with a bed in one of your many empty bedrooms. Now, this is not particularly a problem for you, as you have plenty of food and even have an empty bedroom for this man to sleep in. (ii) Imagine, instead of the homeless man asking to stay in your house, you find there is a regular looking man, seeking shelter from a murderer who is down the street trying to kill him. From your window, you can see the murderer at the end of the street, waving his gun around. Now, knowing that if you leave this man outside he will probably be killed. (iii) Imagine, that there are whole rows of houses on your block that have their lights on and the man has option to go to some other house as well. (a) Among all the above given situations, when do you think that you are morally obligated to let the man in your house? Give reasons. (b) Using the above situations as an analogy to the geopolitical situation of the refugee crisis, Discuss the moral responsibilities of developed and capable countries toward more than 60 million displaced people in the world today? Should they let refugees in to their borders? Justify.
