a) Our consciences are fairly clear even though we lie very often. This is possible because we distance ourselves from the effect we create by our dishonesty.
b) We have a delicate balance between lying and telling the truth. When we are lying we justify our actions so that we don't feel as bad committing the 'crime'.
c) Apple pay is one real life example of distancing ourselves from guilt. We don't even feel like we are spending because we just click a button.

2. 
Dishonesty is common in the world. I am hesitant to say that it is a problem specifically at CHS because I know that we have to make a bigger difference than changing just the school. I think that we are usually dishonest in ways that do not directly affect our academic life. Such as telling people that your mom got in a car accident when she really different. Very rarely do we lie academically. If we do, it is usually because we feel the pressure to get better grades or that we are lazy.]]> 2016-12-01 19:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141234400 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141234805 1.) 
- We want to feel good about ourselves but also benefit from being dishonest, can't do both.
- People do good and bad things thinking it will balance out to neutral
- Everyone has their own way to justify their actions
2.) 
Just as much as it is anywhere in the world. The only thing i can think of is saying you forgot to print your paper when really you just haven't started/finished.]]> 2016-12-01 19:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141234805 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141235260 1. 
-We feel okay doing some bad things by countering it with better things. 
-We rationalize our actions to make ourselves feel better. 
2. I think that dishonesty is one of the biggest issues at century, but i don't think that we can do much about it. ]]> 2016-12-01 19:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141235260 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141238357 1. a. people make up for feeling bad about being dishonest by rationalizing their actions
b. morality/religion leads people to not cheat
c. there are few "big criminals" and more "small criminals" but altogether the "little" criminals take more than the "big" ones

2. Yes, not only academically but also generally and morally. People lie about their academics but also about their personal lives to make themselves seem more interesting]]> 2016-12-01 19:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141238357 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141238544 1. We try to make ourselves believe what we did was okay
People try to make up for what they may have done 'wrong'
Reminders of morality help us to stay on track
2. I think it is a pretty big issue at Century. A lot may not intend to be but I know for a fact that many students lie to teachers, classmates, and themselves. ]]> 2016-12-01 19:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141238544 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141239144 1) a: People often try to make up for dishonesty through rationalizing the actions committed.
     b: Recently society has been distancing themselves from consequences, resulting in a very thin line in defining right and wrong.
     c: The main reason why people aren't entirely dishonest is because our morals supervise us and our actions, directly impacting our rationale.

2) I wouldn't say dishonesty is a main issue at the school compared to other places. I would say it is a problem, but if I were to say it was, it would mean no one is faithful to the expectations of the school. Rather than address dishonesty as an issue, it would be more be better to figure out what pushes students to be dishonest, and tackle the issue from there.]]> 2016-12-01 19:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141239144 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141240603 1. People try to justify their lies
2. We lie to make ourselves feel better
3. People think that they do something good after doing something bad; it will even out.

2. Teenagers either lie more than adults or are worse at doing it. Its a school full of teenagers; we lie about doing an assignment, we show each other our homework, we tell our parents we don't have a test the next day so we can go be with friends. Dishonesty is a major issue everywhere.]]> 2016-12-01 19:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141240603 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141244498 1. If you give people options to cheat they will sometimes, then after they get away with it a lot, they will do it all of the time.
2. One you ask for forgiveness, and ask to start a new page, the amount of cheating will go down. 
3. Dishonesty is mostly done by good people who think that they are doing a good thing. 

2. I don't think that dishonesty is a huge issue at Century, but I mean there are probably people who cheat all of the time, but they don't think that it is a big deal. I don't think that they are doing it on purpose. I think that there are other issues at Century that are more major than dishonesty, and we should focus on those more.]]> 2016-12-01 19:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141244498 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141244599 1.Takeaways
-People balance cheating and feeling goo about yourself

-People rationalize to scrutinize their own actions

-Reminders of morality make us supervise ourselves

2. I think dishonesty is an issue at Century but not a major one. Also when most people are dishonest they don't intend to be. But the people who are on purpose are known for it because they do it so much.]]> 2016-12-01 19:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141244599 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141245730 1. -We rationalize our actions so we make it seem like we are good people.
- A persons morality can lead them to not be as dishonest
- Dishonesty is done by people who think they are doing something
2. I don't think Century has a dishonesty issue, we just have issues with some students cheating on tests or homework that do it all the time.

2. People who cheat a little think that they're not doing anything wrong
3. It's easy to cheat but people think about there morals and values.
#2 Dishonesty isn't a huge issue at Century but people do still cheat on tests or homework all the time. ]]> 2016-12-01 20:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141248103 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141248196 1. a.

b) There are very few big cheaters in the world, but many small cheaters.
c) Confession is successful because it opens a new page.

I think dishonesty is an issue everywhere; like the video said, everyone is doing small bad things and they add up to a big problem.]]> 2016-12-01 20:36:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141257472 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141282322 1a. People can feel fine about cheating if the cheating is easily rationalized.
b. Cheating turns into a repetitive cycle once a person stops rationalizing their habit.
c. The only way to break the cycle is to somehow "clean" a persons conscious so they realize cheating is bad
2. I think century has dishonesty everywhere, but most places do. ]]> 2016-12-01 23:56:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141282322 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141465307 1. a) rationalizing less will lead to more honesty

2. We rationalize our dishonesty
3. We don't really understand or fully accept the consequences of our actions

At century the most dishonesty comes from cheating on assignments and tests. Morally, most kids here tell the truth in non academic situations.]]> 2016-12-02 18:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141465417 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141469738 1. People are only dishonest if they can personally rationalize what they did/are doing.
2. People tend to stop being dishonest when a religious text, regardless of whether or not they follow it, is brought up.
3. People can often justify dishonesty of a certain kind but are unable to justify dishonesty of the same/similar kind.

No, It really isn't that much of an issue in comparison to literally everywhere else on the planet.]]> 2016-12-02 18:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/141469738 https://padlet.com/mieckerman2/x7pi0x1rupif/wish/142354425 1. A) Humans can rationalize cheating so they still see themselves as good people.
B) Big cheaters aren't the real problem, it's the large amount of small cheaters.
