Abstract

Should we publicly accuse our own parents of a crime, which will undoubtedly result in their punishment? This age old question has been debated for millennia throughout the world with varied and countless legitimate arguments swaying people's opinions from one side to the other. It is unclear if we shall ever uncover the "right" answer, but people around the globe will most certainly keep trying to solve this complex dilemma. And when these people exhaust their own common sense and judgments of morality, they turn to greater minds, those who have done this before and have reached definite answers on the subject.
