Of course, the first action suggested above, (A) is the honest and truthful way to resolve the problem. However, unfortunately, most of Austrtalia's youth population would choose the latter option, and therefore taking advantage of the young trainee's mistake by gaining extra food and a whole handful of spare change.

Below is the definition of 'honesty' from the Macquarie Encyclopaedic Dictionary:

1. Honourable in principles, intentions and actions; upright, as in an honest person

2. Showing uprightness and fairness, as in an honest method

3. Acquired fairly, as in honest money

5. Genuine or unadulterated, as in honest commodities

In The Mercury newspaper, 23rd August 1994, it contained an article on burglaries in general. In the article, it said that Australia had one of the world's highest burglary and domestic violence rates. It was said that this was because of Australians high beer intake in comparison to countries which drink more wine rather than beer (Italy or Greece or Spain). This is proven by the fact that many other beer drinking countries like Canada, America, England, Germany and Holland also have quite high crime, burglary and domestic violence rates. Another factor that adds to Australia's high crime/burglary rate is the facts that just over 80% of Australia's population live in a detached, single story house, which is accessible to burglars from all sides. This can be compared to Paris, which has one of the world's lowest crime/burglary rates. This is due to the fact that Paris' population is fairly dense, which means that most people live in apartments, flats or units. If you were a burglar, and you had to choose whether to enter the high-rise apartments or the single story detached house, I am sure that you would choose the house, because there is no foyer and you can enter it from any side which has a window.

In this particular scenario, the latter solution (B) is the morally correct action, even though it may agitate the people in the line, you are doing the right thing and being honest. Once again, most adolescents would act out the morally incorrect solution and see it as just a little bonus cash on behalf of the colour-blind checkout girl (even though most adolescents don't do any shopping).

How can we remedy this? Well, we can start by thinking about the consequences of the evil acts we commit everyday, whether it be just a harmless practical joke or the example above with the MacDonalds trainee. Just imagine if you are the young trainee from the example above. The next car pulls up and you hand the driver the cheeseburger only to face the angry driver who had really ordered two MacValue Meals. Your stomach ties itself into knots as you realize what had just happened. You had got the orders of this man and the previous customer mixed up, therefore giving the previous customer this mans order and that customer thought it was just a mistake so he took the two meals. Because of this, you quickly rush to make another two MacValue Meals for the angry man. To make the matter worse, your boss, the branch manager comes around to check how you are doing and there is nothing else to do so you tell the manager of your situation. The branch manager then deducts the sum of the two MacValue Meals off your fortnightly pay cheque. The manager, having one of his bad days, also phones your parents telling them of your petty mistake. Your stomach ties itself into ano
