Honesty

In Converse 101 the students were challenge to be completely honest for twenty-one hours. Then we were supposed to blog about the experience, and the outcome. Unfortunately, I chose to be honest on Thursday. This is unfortunate because Thursday turned out to be quite uneventful! This concerned me because I worried that I might not be able to adequate blog summary because being honest was just like every other day. With that in mind, I chose to be honest another day. This also was a disappointment. The day failed to have any reasons for me to be dishonest. In light of the experience, being honest for not twenty-one hours, but forty-two (actually more like twenty-one minus the sleep) was surprisingly easy. 

My feelings on the honor code are great. I think this experiment proved that an honor works. I was not confronted with the desire to be dishonest because everyone (myself included) was acting considerably honorable. However, if I had conducted this experiment on the weekend, it may have been more challenging. I feel like the weekend is probably the majorty of student's preferred time for acting out. However, I was saying, the honor code is mostly good. It usually works because it raises the morale and self-esteem of the students because they have ideals and morals.
