How Much is Two Plus Two?
…so I was reading my Ethics Textbook for some clue onto how I should write my Ethics Essay, and I came across this interesting short story on the second chapter:
“A large company was hiring a new CEO. The four leading candidates worked inside the company so the board decided to ask each candidate a very basic question.
The comptroller was brought in.
“How much is 2 plus 2?”
“This must be a trick question, but the answer is 4. It will always be 4.”
They brought in the head of research and development, an engineer by training.
“How much is 2 plus 2?”
“That depends on whether it is a positive 2 or a negative 2. It could be 4, zero or minus 4.”
The brought in the Head of Marketing.
“The way I figure, it, 2 plus 2 is 22.”
Finally, they brought in the legal counsel.
“How much is 2 plus 2?” they asked.
He looked furtively at each board member.
“How much do you want it to be?”
Anyway, I hate the module on Ethics – not because I’m unethical, but every way I think that I can write the article. I feel it’s not right.

I want to redesign this blog, but I’m just lazy. Too many things on my hands. Haven’t even got time to write a good article or two up here.
