1. The familiar admonition to put your money where your mouth is suggests that its far easier to speak up for a principle than to live up to it. Thats why most of us, whether we intend to or not, say one thing but often do another. Its just part of human nature.
Assignment:
Is the common tendency to often say one thing but do another built into our nature, or is it something that experience teaches us to do?
2. If you are like most people, your sadness over losing, say, $1,000, would be twice as great as your happiness at winning $1,000. That all-too-human tendency to feel pain of a loss more deeply than the joy of a gain is called loss aversion.
From an editorial in the New York Times, January 16, 2005
Assignment:
Are negative emotions stronger than positive ones?
3. After rescuing a dozen men and women from a burning office building, Jim Smith, a New York City fire fighter, commented, Courage is just a matter of luckof being in the right place at the right time.
Assignment:

4. While walking in her neighborhood, a friend saw a man who had tied a fishing line around a turtles throat and was letting his kids drag it up and down the path.
Feeling that a direct approach would lead to a confrontation, my friend said: I am a biologist with So-and-So University. Turtles are toxic; they secrete poison that may make your kids horribly sick.The guy had his kids stop tormenting the turtle right away. Was this lie justified?
From a letter by David Weinrich, published in The Ethicist by Randy Cohen, New York Times Magazine, January 16, 2005
Assignment:
Is lying acceptable or even obligatory at times?
