Ethics (Thursday, September 28, 6th period)

[sith_happened]

Vader swept into the room precisely on time, slamming the door hard enough to reverberate down the hallway. He dropped a box of cookies onto his desk.

"Today we talk about how a strict sense of right and wrong interferes in efficiency," he said, pacing the room and clearly intending to intimidate as many students as possible. "Employees who do not believe that there will be consequences for their incompetence become lazy, stupid, and easily replaceable."

Vader took the box of cookies from his desk and passed it around the room. "Each of you has a cookie," he said. "You will spend the rest of the class period using the tactics of fear, shame and guilt to get the other people in this classroom to give you their cookies." And yes, that word sounded incredibly strange coming from him. "Whoever has the most cookies at the end of the class will get to keep them."

He crossed his arms over his chest. "Are these tactics unethical? Does it matter if you get what you want?"

"MY cookie," Stark said again. "Why should you have it?"

"Not a good reason. Still my cookie, not your cookie."

"I'll give you my mittens"

"Mittens?" Stark shook his head. "Can't eat mittens! Well, you can. But they won't taste good. Probably. Rather have a cookie. Still mine."

"I'll give you two cookies next week if you give me yours today." Jamie said trying to barter.

"How do I know you aren't lying to me? You might be lying. You might take my cookie and run off and I'll have no cookie now and no cookies next week and no cookies ever."

"I'll give you my mittens as collateral."

"What if you decide you don't really need the mittens? Maybe you have more mittens. Maybe you don't even like mittens and you just want to get rid of them. Still too risky. Still my cookie."
