TED Talks: Dan Ariely: OK To Cheat & St...

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely studies the bugs in our moral code: the hidden reasons we think it`s OK to cheat or steal (sometimes). Clever studies help make his point that we`re predictably irrational -- and can be influenced in ways we can`t grasp.

awesome video, i was very interested in the results of his cheating tests as im sure everyone has cheated before at least once and to what degree it is "acceptable" to do so.

I`m actually writing a paper on instances and situations when cheating is acceptable and this video couldn`t have come at a better time. I`m suffering severe writer`s block and I`m already 3 weeks overdue.
Also..if anyone has any ideas, feel free to toss em at me. I have to tackle cheating in relationships too, which is unfortunately not covered here.
Moral: Don`t piss off your Writ. Professor.
