Ethics [Tuesday, October 4, 2011, first period]
Today the students would find themselves in the Danger Shop instead of the usual classroom: this time in a setting up to look like a house, with comfortable sofas and chairs to sit on in the living room and fully stocked kitchen behind it, and a trap door leading to the basement hiding under the rug.
...didn't everyone have that in their house?
When class began, Anakin came in through the door. "Today we talk about lying. Kant believed that any lie, no matter how small, was a violation of one's dignity. I, personally, am beginning to think that Kant came from a magical bubble land where he'd spent his life swaddled in cotton candy, but some of you might believe he has a point."
Anakin certainly didn't think so, though.
"Depending on how you signed into class--either with a one or a two--depends upon how this scenario will play out for you. If you are a one, this is your house and one of the twos is hiding from the authorities in your basement. In a minute, several armed stormtroopers--think police with absolutely no sense of humor--will be coming to the door. If they find your classmate, they will take them away and kill them. Ones, you have to decide if you will lie and say you have no idea where your classmate is. Twos, your job is to persuade your classmate not to sell you out. If they get caught lying, they'll be killed as well. If they turn you in, it's possible they're receive a monetary reward."
He clapped his hands to begin. "You have three minutes until the authorities arrive."
What a fun exercise for so early in the morning!
