higher class leads to less ethical choices

A recent article suggests that having a higher social status will lead to less ethical choices. the reasearchers  put people through a series of tests and determined that people find middle and lower classes are more likely to be more ethical and more caring then the people from the upper classes. for example when they were driving, the upper class would cut people off and take more risks due to their competitive nature, while middle class and lower will more so obey the rules.

what do you think of this?

Response to above the inluence

I find these commercials somewhat harmful to the anti drug message. First the commercial where the teenage girl runs into the bathroom and vomits in the toilet, it shows that she has a lack of self control and is conflicted by peer pressure. If she was raised to have more self respect for her self and be an individual she would realize she does not have to get that messed up. But at the same time sometimes going a little over the line is a good stress reliever, to feel like you have lived is better then any board game or after school activity. Second the commercial where the teen is jumping from building to building. the commercial implies that it is safer to jump from building top to building top on your way to school then do drugs. Also they say in the fine print professional stunt person do not try this. so what is the point of even advertising this commercial if the activity can seriously injure you or kill you, the police will arrest you for trespassing, or you have to be professionally trained to do it?

we really know these commercials are pertaining to marijuana and alcohol because of their abundence but do you think these ads would be more succesful if they portrayed being responsible and having self control? All teenagers want is to be accepted and be respected, what i have found is that when you show them acting reponsibly will earn them respect and acceptance they tend to be more willing to change.
