It is not enough to say stealing is bad and therefore not moral or this is an obvious moral issue or it is wrong to treat people like this. Explain to me why it is immoral, for example, why is stealing bad? Try to use terms/ideas from class and the readings to prove to me how and why this is, in fact, a moral issue.
