Ethics [Monday, January 29, 5th 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, then pulled a box of water pistols from under his chair and put them next to the cookies.

"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. "You may not use any cookies you might have brought with you into this class. 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?"

Molly shook her head sadly and sniffled again. "No. Whoever took it might be planning on keeping it."

"That sucks," he said. "Anything I can do?"

Molly put on her very best sad face and blinked up at him. "A cookie might help," she said.

"You have a cookie," he pointed out helpfully.

Dammit. "I might need another one," she said, continuing to look at him sadly. "I really miss my hat."

"Cookies won't bring your hat back."

"It would make me feel better though," she said.

"You've got a cookie to make you feel better right there," he said again.
