You make a cash purchase at a grocery store and the cashier returns change to you that includes an extra $20 bill stuck to another dollar bill. Do you return the $20, or do you pocket the $20? Explain.

2. You are a cashier at a grocery store, and you must balance your register after your shift. You give back excess money while making change. Would you expect a customer to return any excess money given out in error so that you are able to balance your cash register, or would you be okay with them keeping it?

3. Discuss how this situation might relate to Intellectual Integrity.

6: Another Question of Intellectual Integrity

It is natural that when we buy a used car we want the seller to be totally honest with us. Yet when we sell a used car, we have to decide whether we should be totally honest ourselves. We can likely sell a car for more money if we lie, or more often just omit certain information. Is omitting information lying? Maybe you don't consider omitting information to be lying, but that is beside the point. The question is intellectual Integrity, whether you will hold yourself to the standards you expect from others.

Here is the sixth writing assignment for this unit. What level of honesty do you think we should expect from anyone selling a used car? Do you expect this standard from yourself? Explain, again keeping Intellectual Integrity in mind.

4. Briefly offer another example of Intellectual Integrity so that I am aware that you understand the meaning.
