Lab #4

Lab #4

This is a survey that was taken by students at Salem College. The question was asked “If you saw a stranger drop a $20 bill, would you be trusted to return it?

Here are the results:
5 students out of 7 students say that they would return the $20
While only 2 out of 7 students claimed that they would not be trusted to return the dollar.

This survey may be inaccurate since most forms of dishonesty are either aversive, or the person being dishonest would never openly admit it. Either way, I think most people could be trusted to return the $20 dollar bill simply because it’s “the right thing to do.”

Lab #18

For this lab, I created a poster with a quote from William Drummond:
“A lie is a lie, even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth, even if nobody believes it.”

At the bottom of the poster I requested that people write a response to this quote. I took the poster to Salem college and left it in the cafeteria for awhile, then a few hours later I went to retrieve the poster.

Blogger won't let me upload the photo of the poster, but i will be sharing the poster in class and show everyone the responses from students at Salem College about "Political Honesty."
