Many parents have to choose between work or taking care of their child’s well being. Parents that work in certain days to take care of their child’s health. Sometimes some promises have to be broken for something unexpected or even more serious situation, that is when a child gets sick and parents have to decide whether to stay with the child or go to work.

Ross recommends to consider the seven duties and to act from the one that is consider the most important to the individual. For example, a parent who has a sick child and has to decide between staying home taking care of the child or going to work. This parent has to decide which is most important, staying with the child or going to work. Ross recommends to consider the seven duties and to act on the one which the individual considers the most important. The seven duties do not have to go in order, it all depends what the individuals consider the most important. For example, a parent has to decide what is morally right to do, if staying with the sick child or going to work. The parent has to analyze if fidelity with the child is more important than self-improvement with the job.

The coin is stoked firmly up and down on the oiled skin until bruised. This example would go against Ross’s theory, because Prima Facie Theory is based of what is more important and not to harm others. the individual from the Hmong community has decided to used their remedy instead of taking the child with a doctor. This individual has not follow any of Ross’s duties instead the individual did the opposite. The individual was not justice, self-improving, beneficence, and non-maleficence. Ross would think that the Hmong culture has no morally beliefs. That they make decision not caring for other and they do not improve themselves as humans. Also, the Hmong community do not used their talents, and abilities to make their decisions. Ross will mainly highlight the fact the the Hmong community harms their children, which is doing the opposite of what the theory mainly focused on. That the Hmong culture does not have a schedule conflict,
