Not Exactly News.....

Heh. "The prevailing business culture in the banking industry weakens and undermines the honesty norm."
Looks like the prevailing business culture in the periodical industry weakens and undermines the intestinal fortitude norm.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould 
I think, it is not a confirm news but you can read some news related this from here [snip]
 Quote:However, when their professional identity as bank employees is rendered salient, a significant proportion of them become dishonest. This effect is specific to bank employees because control experiments with employees from other industries and with students show that they do not become more dishonest when their professional identity or bank-related items are rendered salient. This will probably make me sound stupid. I thought that salient meant most important feature. I am confused how the word is being used in the above sentence. Is it saying that bank employees who identify the most with their jobs are the more dishonest then other types of employees?

It strikes me that way as well, and would seem to be poor writing for the confusion it is causing. Simpler sometimes is better. |
