Gino-Norton-Ariely
Although people buy counterfeit products to signal positive traits, we show that wearing counterfeit products makes individuals feel less authentic and increases their likelihood of both behaving dishonestly and judging others as unethical. In four experiments, participants wore purportedly fake or authentically branded sunglasses. Those wearing fake sunglasses cheated more across multiple tasks than did participants wearing authentic sunglasses, both when they believed they had a preference for counterfeits (Experiment 1a) and when they were randomly assigned to wear them (Experiment 1b). Experiment 2 shows that the effects of wearing counterfeit sunglasses extend beyond the self, influencing judgments of other people's unethical behavior. Experiment 3 demonstrates that the feelings of inauthenticity that wearing fake products engenders-what we term the counterfeit self-mediate the impact of counterfeits on unethical behavior. Finally, we show that people do not predict the impact of counterfeits on ethicality; thus, the costs of counterfeits are deceptive.
Rawls
John Rawls – American moral and political philosopher. His magnum opus is A Theory of Justice (1971). His work in political philosophy, dubbed Rawlsianism, takes as its starting point the argument that "the most reasonable principles of justice are those everyone would accept and agree to from a fair position".
Wiesel
Elie Wiesel - Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor. He publicly condemned the 1915 Armenian genocide and remained a strong defender of human rights during his lifetime. His book Night is about his experience with his father in the Nazi German concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944–1945
Parfit
Derek Parfit – British philosopher who specialises in problems of personal identity, rationality, ethics, and the relations among them. Parfit is singular in his meticulously rigorous and almost mathematical investigations into personal identity.
Parfit describes his loss of belief in a separate self as liberating:
My life seemed like a glass tunnel, through which I was moving faster every year, and at the end of which there was darkness... [However] When I changed my view, the walls of my glass tunnel disappeared. I now live in the open air. There is still a difference between my life and the lives of other people. But the difference is less. Other people are closer. I am less concerned about the rest of my own life, and more concerned about the lives of others.
