Case Study:
A gang of thieves robs money from a bank. One of the bank employees clicks on the police alarm and they are on their way. When the gang starts escaping on their bikes, a student passing by on a bike sees them and starts following and filming them from his phone. Soon the police catch up with the gang and start firing when they do not stop after several warnings. Their race on the roads of the city is no less than a filmy scene. The thieves are damaging everything that comes in their way. They even injured a small child playing football on the playground. Suddenly, one of the thieves falls off his bike and is badly injured. One of the policemen immediately comes near him and shoots him on his forehead in a fit of rage. All of this is filmed by that student on his phone. He then goes to a news channel to sell this video.
Task:
• If you were the head of the news channel, would you screen that video clip on your channel to increase your ratings and revenue? Justify your reply.
• Comment on the act of the police. Was it ethical or unethical? Give reasons for your answer.
• If you were that student who filmed the entire scenario, would you think about selling it?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
