Norms, Morals, Ethics:

PRACTICE!
I am an undergraduate researcher at a policy center. Another undergrad and I were hired to assist with
research; half our stipend was paid before we started, and the other half is to be paid after our last day. We
committed to working 30 hours a week and are expected to sign in and out. I noticed that my co-worker was
spending significantly less time at the office than I was, and then I saw that he was lying about his hours. These
were not small lies. He said he spent two whole days at the center when he wasn’t even there. If I mention
this to our boss, I risk coming off as spiteful. However, I’m troubled by the fact that I’m putting in more work,
yet we get equal credit. What should I do?
NORMS MORALS ETHICS

Nuremberg Codes:

PRACTICE!
The Monster Study was a stuttering experiment on 22 orphan children in Davenport, Iowa, in 1939 conducted
by Wendell Johnson at the University of Iowa. After placing the children in control and experimental groups,
Johnson gave positive speech therapy to half of the children, praising the fluency of their speech, and negative
speech therapy to the other half, belittling the children for every speech imperfection and telling them they
were stutterers. Many of the normal speaking orphan children who received negative therapy in the
experiment suffered negative psychological effects and some retained speech problems during the course of
their life. Dubbed “The Monster Study” by some of Johnson’s peers who were horrified that he would
experiment on orphan children to prove a theory, the experiment was kept hidden for fear Johnson’s
reputation would be tarnished in the wake of human experiments conducted by the Nazis during WW2.
What Nuremberg Codes were broken and how? Explain.
