This story presents a moral dilemma about making difficult decisions that involve sacrificing some to save others. A group of children are playing near two railway tracks, with most on the operational track and one lone child on the disused track. When a train approaches, an onlooker must decide whether to divert the train to the disused track, sacrificing the one child but saving the others, or letting it continue on its path. There is no unambiguously right answer, as diverting the train could also endanger passengers onboard. The document explores this complex scenario from different perspectives without passing judgment, emphasizing the importance of considering all factors when lives depend on making choices with unavoidable costs.

1. Which one
will you
choose?

2. This is the story of children who
played at the railway tracks.
It really gives us an insight
into DECISION MAKING!!!
Which one will
you choose?

3. A group of children were playing
near two railway tracks,
One still in use
while the other
disused!!!

4. Only one child played on
the disused track,
The rest on the
operational track!!!

5. The train came, and you were just
beside the track interchange.
You were the only
one person who had
to made a decision!!!

6. Make the train change its
course to the disused track
and save most of the kids
Or would you rather let
the train go its way???
However, that would also mean the
lone child playing by the disused
track would be sacrificed.

7. Let's take a pause to think what
kind of decision we could make...

8. YOU might think
THE SAME WAY,
I guess!!!
Most people might choose to
divert the course of the train,
and sacrifice only one child.

9. Was rational decision
most people would
make emotionally!!!
Exactly, I thought the same way initially
because to save most of the children at
the expense of only one child…

10. All these comments will be useful
for you to think further.
Did you make the
right decision?

11. In the case
he was sacrificed,
no one would shed
a tear for him!!!
Have you ever thought
that the child choosing
to play on the disused
track had in fact…
Made the right
decision to play
at a safe place?

12. If the train was diverted, that lone
child would definitely die because
he never thought the train could
come over to that track!!!
Don’t surprise him,
when he makes the
right decision!!!

13. Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed
because of his ignorant friends who
chose to play where the danger was.
The decision
of the majority
could be wrong!!!

14. Someone said he would not try to change
the course of the train because he believed
that the kids playing on the operational track
Should have run
away if they heard
the train’s sirens!!!

15. Moreover, that track was not in use
probably because it was not safe.
If the train was diverted to the
track, we could put the lives of all
passengers on board at stake!!!
You might end up sacrificing
hundreds of people to save
these few kids!!!
And in your attempt to save a few
kids by sacrificing one child,…

16. "Remember that what's right isn't always
popular...and what's popular isn't always
right." Everybody makes mistakes;
That's why they put
erasers on pencils!!!

17. Leaders are the ones who say no to following
the crowd and because of that they become
worthy of being followed by the crowd.
They are the ones who
have created…
New roadmaps and
been a searchlight
for others to follow!!!

18. Did you make the right
decision, didn’t you?
How many people were sacrificed,
after you made a decision?
Thank You Very Much

It depends on YOU!!!
