Ethics is always a hot, interesting, and controversial topic repeatedly mentioned by the society. It is difficult to set a standard measuring how ethical something/someone is because everyone has different thoughts and moral guidelines. It was interesting to read Christian’s blog and the article he commented on. In the New York Times article, it mentioned a study of making decisions according to the result of a coin-flip, quite frankly, I was surprised to learn that only 10% of the participants honesty did what they were instructed to do while the other 90% faked the coin toss in order to come up with a result that they thought is in their best interest. Many people do tend to bend their moral high grounds when the idea of personal interest comes into the picture. It always comes down to gains versus ethics in many of the situations; we always consider our personal interest more, the same for you, me and all others.
