EXERCISE: More scruples?

(For anyone who missed the previous engagement -- little snippets, from the game "A Question of Scruples." Warning, may cause thought :-)
What, you want another one? Okay... pick a number from one to six. And you have selected...
1. On a cold winter day, you notice a bum who has passed out on the sidewalk. No one else is around. Do you try to help him?
2. You are driving at night and hit a dog. You stop and see that the dog gets medical attention?
3. You have a struggling young company. You have to choose between two equal candidates for a job, a man and a woman. The woman will work for $2000 per year less than the man. Do you hire her for that reason?
4. A man on the street says he and his wife (who was standing nearby) are stranded and have no money for food. He asks for anything you can spare. You won't miss a five dollar bill. Do you give one to him?
5. Waiting at a bus stop in a downpour, you see a blind man attempting to cross the street. You are in a rush and see your bus coming. Do you offer to help?
6. You hear a woman screaming in the parking lot behind your apartment building. Do you try to help?
Take that little snippet. Add characters, setting, a building, all that good stuff. And...
Write!
