2.) The purpose of paragraph ten, is to create an opening into paragraph eleven. By stating that we know that people will cheat, even if just a little! Now we want to know, what kinds of situations are there that will cause a person to cheat more, or less? (Ariely 442)
3.) I liked the quote, "The purpose of locks, the locksmith said, is to protect you from the 98% of mostly honest people who might be tempted to try your door if it had no lock." (Ariely 440) The reason I liked this quote, is because in a big way it explains the entire article! That based on variations in day to day situations, and environments many people will be more likely to lie, cheat, or steal (or) to not lie, cheat, or steal.

Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you may need to double-check your citation for your quote. If you look in the Wadsworth Handbook on page 411, #30, you will see the correct way to do a citation for this essay. You have some good ideas going so far! Hope this is helpful.

Michael, your work was very well written and I feel you summarized accurately while also making it interesting to read. I particularly enjoyed the quote you chose, I agree that it summarizes the article perfectly. Sometimes we humans just need a reminder to be honest. Look forward to your works in the future, job well done!
ReplyDeleteNice reflections. With summaries, get used to not using "I" or any other form of 1st person. I liked the quote you chose because it is very true, the mindset within the world we live today.
ReplyDeleteWith the quote you liked, personally I didn't really understand it. But it was interesting to see your take on it! I didn't think of it that way.
