THE RIGHT THING TO DO

SYNOPSIS
Synopsis : A man is lying in the street. Three people, Patrick,
Rebecca and David pass by and they look at him not knowing what
to do. They are in two minds whether to walk away or do
something to help him. They push the act of checking on the man
to each other as each feels it is not their problem. As they are
hesitating and arguing, a woman in blue comes and she
immediately starts helping the man. She instructs each on of them
to do certain things David has to call for an ambulance, Rebecca
to get water from a house nearby and Patrick to feel the mans
pulse. The lady and Patrick see the bottle of pills in the mans
pocket. He has to take one if he feels ill. They help him to take a
pill and he feels better. The woman walks away quietly unnoticed
by the famous TV chef. The ambulance takes him away and the
three by standers are happy they have done the right thing by
helping the man. They commented on the woman walking away,
not wanting to help.

A. Responsibility and civic duty
Rebecca, David and Patrick stop and look at
the unconscious man on the street but they
do not bother to help him as they do not
know the man. They do not think that it is
their responsibility to help him. On the other
hand, the woman in blue is a quick-thinking
person and she quickly gives orders to the
people at the scene to help the man as she
considers it is her civic duty and
responsibility to help the unconscious man.
B) Taking charge in a critical condition
The woman in blue is able to take charge of the situation. She
knows what needs to be done and gives orders to the three
people who seem to be at lost. Without her, the man may still
be lying unconscious on the street.

C) Helping others in need

Once Rebecca, David and Patrick know that the man is a
famous person, they are glad that they have helped him and
take the credit for helping him. In contrast, the woman in blue
helps the man regardless his identity.
 MORAL VALUES

We must help other people regardless their race, religion or
status. The woman in blue has no idea who the man is but she
helps the man. She has a different attitudes from the three
onlookers who are very happy when they learn that the man is
a famous chef.
We must help with sincerity. We should not take credit for
helping others and expecting something else in return. The
woman in blue shows this as she quietly disappears from the
scene once the man is all right.
Taking credit when it is not deserved is wrong. The woman in
blue disappears from the scene and the three people deny her
role in saving the man. In fact, they say that she refuses to help
in the first place and take all the credit.
