serious : ethics : RICH PEOPLE MORE LIKELY TO TAKE CANDY FROM A BABY

[+] serious ballot by larrynelmira

Upper-class people are more likely to engage in a whole range of unethical behaviors, say psychologists, who have carried out the experiments to prove it.

They're more likely to break the law while driving, make unethical decisions, and take valued goods from others. The list goes on: they'll lie in a negotiation, cheat to increase their chances of winning a prize and endorse unethical behavior at work.

"Our studies suggest that more positive attitudes toward greed and the pursuit of self-interest among upper-class individuals, in part, drive their tendencies toward increased unethical behavior," says UC Berkeley's Paul Piff.

"The relative privilege and security enjoyed by upper-class individuals give rise to independence from others and a prioritization of the self and one's own welfare over the welfare of others - what we call 'greed'."
