The thoughtful weekly prompt #30 of this week is quite perculia and it's a thought provoking situation. Looking at the question properly, it gives me a mixed opinion on what to do at the first instance. As i know that a situation of this type, needs faster and quicker approach..... Many immediate approaches.
Uuhh..., just take a look at the question once again.
QUESTION;
The trolley problem is a famous thought experiment that offers a tough delima. There is a train heading straight for 5 people who will die when it reaches them. You have the choice to switch the track and kill a single person instead, or you can decide to do nothing all all. How would you approach this, and why?.
Life is precious, valuable, expensive and it's worth living and maintaining. I would never appreciate any situation that can face me in this kind of double standing. I know already this is not a delibrate action it's an impromptu action and my decisions too will be impromptu ones as well . In my culture, it's said that,
" By impromptu actions, you we will know who is the real warrior "
That's exactly what this occasion demands, i will take a quick and relevant immediate out of the box decision and actions to avert this deserster.
At the first glance of this about to happen dangerous, uncertainty.
I will quickly run to click on the movement button to either press down the speedometer of the train to make sure it stops.
I will quickly press the emergency loud sounding button urgently. That may be sounding, peee... Pooo,
Peee....poooo, peee.... Pooooo, for a very long time,
just to draw people's attention to the train for them to know what's about to happen. I can't keep quiet, nooo, i will do the extra ordinary to alert people...!
I will also quickly press the red quick stop buttons of the train for it to stop quickly and immediately.
I will also put on the one way red head lamp, they will be blinking red colours to scare people from getting closer to it.
To make sure people out there get the knowledge of what is about to happen, including the 5 persons it was directly facing.
There and then, that one person it could have affected will also hear the faster sounding alarm or the red disaster bell ringing and see the red head lamp blinking for all to hear, see and run for their own lives.
l know it as every one of us do that a trolley train is an electric wire driven train on the train rail. It can develop fault any time and such faults are very terrible. It causes accidents that are very alarming.
WHY;
As I'm there, it doesn't have to happen because every single life counts! Everybody's life counts. No life shall be lost suddenly when there are options to engage.
Thank you for engaging on my post.
