Social experiments sometimes reveal what is in the hearts of individuals. In this video, a man pretending to be blind asks for change for a $10 bill. If that isn’t tempting enough for some people, he hands them a $100 bill instead. What are people going to do? Will they alert him to the mistake or will they take advantage of him?
This type of social experiment can reveal what many people will try to do, whether they are honest or dishonest. Although it may not change what we do, it can help us to examine ourselves more deeply.
