RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I too feel that it is hard to trust but you have to try to believe someone is out there like you. Trustworthy! Honest and a no-nonsense person. Otherwise life is a nightmare of fear! I agree that a good honest salesman is worth all the little Irishmen gold. Sometimes you have to give the little guys a break because it is the man that guarantees his word.
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree that when it comes to some car salesmen it can be a scary venture and also that bad incidents happen. But as times continue, it is not all salesmen but a few bad apples who ruin the experience for car buyers. As a suggestion, try to take a man who is knowledgeable for moral support and assistance. Well, two women won the day in this instance but I always feel better if a man can accompany me.
Thank you.

CURRENT DQ:
"Ethics and Trust in Critical Thinking Decision"
Imagine you are seeking information on a new car that you are thinking of buying. Determine the level of trust that you would place in information provided by the following: a salesman at the car lot, the dealer’s Website, social media (i.e. Facebook), an associate from work, and finally a close friend. Discuss the key factors involved in assessing the amount of trust that you put into each.
The level of trust that I would place in the information provided by the following: salesman at the car lot, the dealer’s Website, social media (i.e. Facebook), an associate from work, and finally a close friend.
Salesman – The amount of trust would pertain to a knowledgeable display, ability to answer questions about the vehicle, have comparative data of similar vehicles and have a list of companies that don’t report an inquiry.
Dealer’s Website – This website would gain trust if it reflects a true cost of the vehicle, is honest about any problems with the vehicle and guarantees his or her word.
Social Media – This would gain partial trust but I would still have to investigate and guarantee accuracy.
Associate from work – With this person from work I would have partial trust but I would still investigate it further.
Close Friend – I would gain partial trust but I would investigate for accuracy and confirm it for myself.
The key factors involved in assessing the amount of trust that I put into each interaction would be dependent on the level of reliability, confidence instilled, caution before jumping into a scenario and lastly are they equitable to myself.
If you were in a position to persuade another person, explain whether or not you would slant information in such a way as to make your point seem more credible if you sincerely believed that your position was correct. Discuss the primary ethical dilemmas that this scenario could cause for both you and the person whom you are trying to persuade.
If I was in a position to persuade another person I would not slant or manipulate a situation to accommodate my point. To facilitate support I would have to have evidence or facts to make my position nearly undefeatable. Further If I am sure my point is supported by being accurate and factual I would stand with it because it is correct.
The primary ethical dilemmas that this scenario causes for both myself and the person to be persuaded is a possible violation if manipulation is used. With the state of manipulation is to sometimes deliberately misinterpret a point or twist an argument, fact or scenario to favor the interest of self and again be violating ethical principle by using falsehoods to gain trust for a duplicitous goal.
As a follow-up the consequences would be lack of trust, suspicion, dislike and hate for misleading and taking advantage.

In answering the question about the level of trust you would have in the various people identified, did any stereotypes arise in your answer that reflect a bias you may have about people in that group?
As far as stereotypes goes there are none to assist bias or reflect a private bias. The level of trust is relayed based on personal analysis of ability and honesty relayed with mutual respect.
Thank you.
