Question

Which statement is the best example of rejecting traditional beliefs? A. People who help others will be rewarded. B. Voting is a right and a privilege. C. Love will conquer all. D. Robbing the rich is O.K. if you help the poor.

Answer 1

D. Robbing the rich is O.K. if you help the poor.

It is always wrong to rob someone

Answer 2

The correct option is D.
Traditional belief says that it is very wrong to steal or take something that is not your own, the motive behind the action notwithstanding. Stealing is considered to be a very bad crime which carries grave consequences. Thus, a statement that is saying that it is OK to rob the rich if one is going to use the dividends to help the poor, is rejecting a traditional belief; the statement implies that stealing is great if you have the right motive. That statement is contrary to traditional belief about stealing.
