Ethics [Tuesday, September 18, 2012]

"Pop quiz time," Anakin said, holding up a stack of papers. "Please take this test and then we'll compare our results to the national average. Let's see how ethical Fandom is in comparison to the rest of the country."

Not counting certain Republican presidential candidates...Anakin'd had to turn off his cell phone so that Rory's (irate, but amusing) texts wouldn't interrupt class this morning.

Atton didn't see the point in lying about being an unethical bastard.

Exaggerating was something that Sparkle did. He didn't see why it should be any different on a job application. Though he was contemplating exaggerating what sort of a person he was, here.

Nah. Screw it.

Leaving aside the part where she hadn't needed to exaggerate her bending, like Katara would have ever let her move on from water bending if she'd tried that.

Why not? He could back it up if he got called out on it.

B

Her accomplishments were solid even though she'd only existed for a year. She had no reason to exaggerate.

B

She would't need to. So there.

And there was an honest B. He was far more likely to do the opposite.

Well, clearly not, since he went to this school.

. . . why would he have to? If you really wanted to be technical (and cynical) about it, Anakin had pretty much every advantage you could get from having a high-profile family that was well entrenched in influential positions in society. If he'd ever wanted to get into a good normal school in his galaxy, he had a good chance of getting in on his name alone.

Though really, Anakin's answer came entirely from his reasoning that he didn't want to in the first place.

B.

She wouldn't want to, but there might be reasons that she needed to get into the better school. Tryadnea reasons.

But she'd feel really guilty about it!
