Which is worse:betraying one's duty or betraying one's friend? Imagine a situation in which you were forced to make such a choice. What issues would you weigh as you tried to make a decision? Free write for a few minutes about this dilemma.
I think betraying a country is worse than betarying one's friend. A country is a place you were born in, and you have to serve it. A friend is a friend, he might even betray or backstab you. A situation would be like, if your friend is going to blow up a building with government officials in it because he suspects that one of them is a terrorist that is going to blow up the whole country. You, (His Friend), has to choose between helping him plant the bomb or killing him. Maybe if you trust your friend, you could have killed the terrorist, but also many innocent people. But it is not 100% sure that someone is a terrorist. Or you could save your country's officials and kill him or put him into jail. Issues would be that if you kill the officials, you might be considered a terrorist yourself and traitors to your country. If you kill your friend, you lose friendship, trust, and you become guilty. This is my imagination of a situation that would happen.
