You have to choose
Is it really morally wrong to chose to save an American over a person on another nationality simply because you are from America as well. I thought about this for a while after class, and I still think that I would choose the American, but I'm not sure if it is morally right. But I think that it is what most American's would do. I tend to think of it on a smaller scale. If I had to choose to save someone from my city or another one, I would choose to save the one from my city, because there is an unspoken bond that links me to them. I think that between every American, every person from the same country, there is an unspoken bond and draw to them over another. Being from the same country gives you a common thing between the two of you to bond over or to feel apart of. I guess that when it comes down to it, I would choose my own kind, simply because we come from the same place. We most likely value similar things, and we were raised on similar ideas. We are apart of a giant American family, and so I chose my family because they are apart of me and where I come from.
