What’s Your Personal Fudge Factor?

by The Philosophical Fish

A fascinating look at human nature from a moral perspective. How much do you cheat? Social science studies indicate we all do at some level. We feel that if we cheat, just a little bit, we can still look in the mirror and feel good about ourselves. How does our cheating affect others? If cheating involves money, on average we cheat less. Where money is not identified, we tend to cheat more. How much do you feel you can get away with? What do you think is the norm? We weigh our cheating against that of models we define.
