In order to do a social experiment one must first have a question that needs an answer. Will people always rely on what they are taught? I ask this question because a friend told me that he doesn’t believe in making goals because they are just boundaries that do not expose us to opportunities beyond our goals, and that people only make goals because they are taught that it is the right thing to do. I’d like to experiment if that is true. My ideas for experiments to test this question include:
· Buy Me Something to Eat: Ask a stranger to buy me a meal because I forgot my wallet
· Can You Scratch My Back: Ask someone on Septa to help me out and scratch my back
· Let’s Go Out Tonight: Ask a friend who I know has religious commitments to come out with me on a holy/particularly special night.
I think people have a choice to do what they feel is necessary and if that is by doing what they are taught then there is nothing rudimentary about it.
