Human’s sometime act out in ways they know are wrong because the outcome would be greater for oneself or someone else, and the outcome is worth the consequence. For example in a story we read in class there was a man whose wife was dying in the hospital with a rare disease and there was only one drug that could possibly cure her. So, the husband went to the man who created the drug with all the money he could find $1,000 but, the drug was $2,000 even though it only cost $200 to make.

I think it’s because the conquest is so large most of us are like ya we might save a life but mine will be ruined
