Honesty 2
Imagine this: You are at a MacDonald’s drive through. You have ordered only one cheese burger, but when you drive up to the collection window, the young trainee hands you a big bag filled with food and a handful of change. There are two options, do you, A; tell the young trainee that you only ordered a cheese burger, (which costed you only $1.90) and give back to him the big bag of food and handful of change? Or do you, B; say thank you to the young trainee and drive off happily with the huge bag of food and all the change, feeling lucky that the trainee made a mistake with your order. Of course, the first action suggested above, (A) is the honest and truthful way to resolve the problem. However, unfortunately, most of Austrtalia’s youth population would choose the latter option, and therefore taking advantage of the young trainee’s mistake by gaining extra food and a whole handful of spare change. Below is the definition of ‘honesty’ from the Macquarie Encyclopaedic Dictionary: 1. Honourable in principles, intentions and actions; upright, as in an honest person 2. Showing uprightness and fairness, as in an honest method 3. Acquired fairly, as in honest money
