Answer 2

I remember reading an interview that Paul McCartney did, where he said that he and his then-wife Linda were eating a meal of lamb chops or roast leg of lamb at their country estate in England when they happened to look up out the window and saw a group of lambs frisking across the pasture. Paul said in the interview that the revelation of this lovely sight, the enjoyment the lambs were having at just being alive, was the genesis of his and Linda's decision to "go veggie" and work to advance the cause of animal rights.

Answer 3

I guess you could use Alfred Nobel as an example. He was the inventor of dynamite. Originally, he intended it only to be used for commercial purposes, such as mining for minerals. However, people began to use it for weapons, which was not what Nobel wanted his invention used for.

In order to be remembered for something other than an invention that killed people, Nobel decided to create the Nobel Peace Prize.

I know that Nobel wasn't technically doing anything wrong himself, but the story is still interesting, and it might work for your assignment.
