Ethics [Thursday, March 21, 2013, 2nd period]

"Today we are going to discuss the ethics of a situation you will be pushed into throughout your lives--," Anakin said, "--working in a group. whether it's for a grade or for a job, the prevailing theory is that more people working together is a good idea even if inevitably there is always one member who is absolutely dead weight that you will want to kill."

Anakin made a slight face. "All right, the scenario is this: you're in a group with four other people. You have a project due in two weeks on a subject you don't know anything about. One of the members of the group can only meet for a half hour once a week and never checks their email, two of the others spend their time making out instead of working, and the third one works hard but can't spell even a little bit. After you turn in your project, your teacher wants to know how your group worked. Do you tell the truth, knowing it will sink the other people's grades?"
