About Dan Ariely’s Movie why we think that Cheating sometimes is OK

Dan Ariely, an economy scientist, did different experiences about the topic of cheating. He found out that people act different the way they cheat. For example when there are limits, if they under control, they cheat less. Also, and that’s another interesting point, when you remind people of their morality. Like for example when the experience includes a honor code, the ten commands, or swearing on the bible. But in the experiences people acted totally different when the damage is directed towards strange people or on distant objects. In this case the personal fudge factor was a big one. So we can say that it seems like humans need to be able to look into the mirror and feel- at least, not too bad about themselves.
