Unless you've already seen John Green's new video on vlogbrothers then you might not know of a recent psychology study. Several Monopoly games were set up by psychologists. However the difference in this is that one person out of the players got a huge advantage at the start of the game, for example starting with more money. This led to the people who had the advantage to think that the game is more fair than it actually was and that they deserved that money. Similarly, studies have shown that rich people are less generous, less empathetic, and more likely to steal a candy from a baby. The reason why these people act in this way is because of the Just World Fallacy. We tend to believe, and perhaps can't help but believe that we get, or people in general get what they deserve in life. For example, for those who have cars/automobiles we might feel entitled, and that we deserve to ride/drive that car. But this behavior isn't just in the Wall Street bankers, it happens in everyone. In the same Monopoly study, it didn't matter who got the advantage, everyone behaved in a similar fashion.

What do you think? Thanks for reading and as always, don't forget to be awesome.
