    Question: Read or watch the story of Robin Hood. Then answer this
    question "Does Robin Hood's actions ethical or unethical"? Make it in an
    Essay format. Upload your activity here.
    A hero for common good or a thief of common good? This is what we
    can foresee Robin Hood’s action throughout the story. We all know that
    Robin is entangled with the power to serve his people and with the passion
    to engaged happiness to them all. By means to achieve something, he
    wanted to portray the best to his people. An example will be the stealing of
    other resources for his people which is literally unethical since the act of
    stealing is define as unethical means to fully extent the ideological
    perspective in moral laws since what we did stole in society would create
    menace to the society and chaos. Yet when we look it to the other side, we
    can always for see the goodness of him to his people without moral law.
    One of the principle that Robin utilize is what we called the Utilitarian
    approach where in accord with Jeremy Bentham, utilitarian principle refers
    to the “greatest happiness for the greatest number” where we could
    established and allow something menace would happen mostly to people
    for the sake of common good of someone. For the sake of his people,
    Robin tends to steal from the rich people who are abusive of money,
    aggressive and mostly mistreated right the people around him. This is
    “wrong” yet it alleviates the poverty from his people where he ensures that
    everything will; always be great.
    Therefore, Robin’s action is ethical by means of common good for
    utilitarianism where he shows compassion to his people, yet it will be
    unethical by laws in the eyes of a lot of hierarchy who made the laws which
    could defiance the chaos and bad omen to them.
