If the one who I cooperated with doesn’t my friend, I will choose confess to get parole. In this situation I will just care about my self because we are all criminals, and no one will be release as innocent. This is not considered as unscrupulous, because if we know what moral right is, we would not rob the bank, and this is a kind of action I know what I did is wrong, and I want to return to the right moral track. Although this looks like I’m a selfish person, this isn’t wrong. I made something wrong and I confess that, this actually is the morals return. Why the police arrests people who violated the law, because it can prevent they do this again. In my opinion, the moral right is depends on the law.
In another situation, if the one who I cooperated with is my friend. I might have to remain silent. I just want to give a simple example to explain why I choose this. At 1937-1945, during the most chaotic time in China, all Chinese were resisting Japanese's aggression. When Communist party’s member had been arrested, they would not say any thing to Japanese soldiers even they had been maltreated, because they all have one goal. They think about others more than themselves, because if they said something to Japanese, their comrades will be arrested or killed. In this situation, remain silent is the best way to protect your friends, at least you will not make your friends in trouble or get punishment because of you. And I would like to spend more jail life to let my mind comfort because I didn’t make my friends in trouble.
