If I returned home after going to the grocery store and found that I had not paid for a pack of gum that I intended to buy I would not take the gum back immediately. I would first call to see if the store would even want me to bring it back. This seems like the most morally correct answer, second to just taking the gum back right away. Keeping the gum would fit into the ethical category of “taking things that don’t belong to you”, Although keeping a pack of gum might seem like a minuet thing to do, it still violates categories within ethics. I believe moral relativism relates to this situation because if I had realized that the store didn’t charge me for the gum while I was still at the store, I would have immediately paid for it.
