Are youth today less ethical then youth when your parents and/or grandparents were kids? Watch the following YOUTUBE clip that is a two minute discussion by Cognitive Psychologist Howard Gardner.
For this blogpost write up a 150-200 word response to Gardner's primary arguments and post it in the comment section of this post. Make sure you EDIT your writing so there are no typos. Support your view with sound argument. MAKE SURE YOU END YOUR POST BY LEAVING YOUR FULL NAME AND THE PERIOD OF ETHICS YOU ARE IN. Lastly, if you are not one of the first ten students to post, you must respond to two other students' arguments who went before you (2-3 extra sentences commenting on each student you chose to respond to).
Respond to the following questions:
In your opinion is Gardner correct on the following two arguments: 1) Do most youth consider ethics a "bonus for later in life," an option to be followed only after a person has achieved greatness/riches? and 2) Students believe that "Everyone else is cutting corners/no one else is playing by the rules, so why should we."?
