The class is intro to psychology
I want you to think about the degree to which situations influence our behavior. To do that, I want you to watch an eg talk presented by Dan Ariely(https://www.youtube.co/watch?v=9X68dm92HVI&feature=youtu.be). It looks like he used to be at MIT, but now I think he’s at Duke.

After you watch Dan Ariely’s talk, you can contribute to the discussion by addressing these questions —

1. Of all the points Ariely made, which did you relate to most? Explain why.

2. Do you feel like you are controlled by your circumstances or do you feel like you are in control? Which do you think is true and when? Justify your answer.

3. Do you believe Ariely’s claim that our circumstances control us more than we acknowledge? Why or why not?

4. Ariely points out that it is easier to see when other people seem to be controlled by circumstances thane when we are. Why do you think that is? Do you think we overestimate how much other people are controlled by circumstances or underestimate how much we are. Why?
