Conversation #8

The relationship between the wealthy and perfect Park family and the poor Kim family is one of the moral dilemmas in the movie Parasites. The Kims start to mislead and deceive the Park family as they get more and more engaged in the Parks’ life in an effort to retain their newfound position and financial stability. They even try to go as far and take the Parks’ place. But when things get out of hand, they are compelled to take responsibility for their actions and the harm they do to other people in order to keep their new lives.

1. I would follow my conscience

Based of my conscience, i wouldn’t have been able to try and steal someone else’s life and home, especially when the consequences are severe.

2. I don’t know what I would do

In a situation like that, I wouldn’t know whether it would better to be honest and say what is going, or keep on with the lies and face the consequences.

3. I would do whatever would improve my own situation

If I were in the same situation as the poor family, then I could somewhat understand why they were surviving the way that they were.

4. I Would Do What God or the Scriptures Say Is Right

I would follow based on my beliefs and religion, and based off that i wouldn’t try and steal someone else’s life.

5. I Would Do Whatever Made Me Happy

If I were struggling as bad as the poor family was, then its understandable why they continued to leech of the Park family.

6. I would follow the advice of an authority figure

The parents of the Kim family are also the ones who join to exploit the wealthy family even though they know they shouldn’t.

7. I would do what’s best for everyone

Both families are on two different sides of the spectrum however it could’ve been possible for both families to come up with an agreement in which the Park family could help the Kim family.

If i were in the position of the Kim’s family, then i wouldnt have tried to steal the lives of another family, as they aren’t apart of my choices and havent done anything. My moral compass wouldnt allow me to do harm to others and do what is the right.
