Read the excerpt from levitt and dubner's freakonomics.
there is a tale, "the ring of gyges," that feldman sometimes tells his economist friends. it comes from plato's
republic. a student named glaucon offered the story in response to a lesson by socrates—who, like adam smith,
argued that people are generally good even without enforcement. glaucon, like feldman's economist friends,
disagreed. he told of a shepherd named gyges who stumbled upon a secret cavern with a corpse inside that wore
a ring. when gyges put on the ring, he found that it made him invisible. with no one able to monitor his behavior,
gyges proceeded to do woeful things-seduce the queen, murder the king, and so on. glaucon's story posed a
moral question: could any man resist the temptation of evil if he knew his acts could not be witnessed? glaucon
seemed to think the answer was no. but paul feldman sides with socrates and adam smith—for he knows the
answer, at least 87 percent of the time, is yes.
the example in the excerpt the authors arrive at which of the following conclusions?
the majority of people are corrupt.
o the majority of people are honest.
glaucon and paul feldman were wrong.
socrates and adam smith were wrong.

Before ending this lesson, take a moment to review an informative research essay you have written. you’ve probably already written a conclusion to the essay. but is it the best conclusion it can be? does it properly summarize the main subtopics of your essay? does it state in one or two sentences the “so what” of your topic. if your topic was abraham lincoln, your essay shouldn’t be just about abraham lincoln. it should answer, “so what about abraham lincoln? ” take five or ten minutes, and looking only at that single paragraph, revise your conclusion
