After watching the Freakonomics video clip on the incentives that sumo wrestlers face, it shows that there are times when rational people will choose to cheat in order to get a greater payoff.
Has there ever been a situation that you faced where the incentives before you were such that the cheaters had an advantage? Describe how you handled the situation, and how Saint Leo’s core value of responsible stewardship could help you when facing a similar situation in the future.
Please write two paragraphs to answer this discussion question. In paragraph a), identify a situation you encountered when cheating would have provided incentives that tempted you to cheat because it would have given you an incentive, usually monetarily, by doing that. Make sure you explain your reasoning for how you handled the situation. In paragraph b), explain how Saint Leo's core value of responsible stewardship could help you make a decision when another situation involving cheating comes your way. Limit your discussion in paragraph b) to only responsible stewardship, although there are other core values that also apply. As always, spell check all your posts, reread your posts to catch grammar errors, and make sure you answer the questions posed.
