Bit by Bit

November 8th, 2010 at 08:24 pm

I'm adding (or should I?) $100 to my ebay totals for something that sold, but which hasn't yet been paid for.
Things are back to normal busyness around here with the current crisis a lost library book of my daughter's. I'm convinced it will surface.

Today in class we had a discussion about persuasion. A whole bunch of my students--mostly young men-- insisted their ethical values never sway them in the marketplace. I was so taken aback by that I was at a loss for words. Can it be that people's ethics don't sway their decisions? We had other things to discuss, but I need to come back to that contention on Wednesday. I think they were exaggerating, but still it astounds me that someone would actually say that. I'm still mulling that over....

    What? That does not make any sense to me! I guess you explained ( or will) some of the many ways their ethics might influence--either to buy or not buy, or to take other actions.

    I guess if they don't have any, they wouldn't be swayed by them. They don't shoplift, do they? Big Grin

    I assume they don't shoplift, but they might ascribe that to logic--the feat they'll get caught. We'll see what they say tomorrow. I wonder if I need to monitor their test taking more???
