Group exercise

1. Would you volunteer your money - that is, take risk?
Depend who to, if it was a stranger then no, if it was to a friend well that will depend as well.
2. How did you feel?
When people ask for money on the side of the street I find it rude and off putting, but if say a teacher was asking for money for an class exercise I wouldn’t mind handing it over but wonder why they were asking for it. That’s if I have the money…
3. Did you feel a little sheepish?
It is a little weird when your teacher asks for money, I feel a little suspicious handing it over.
4. What about when the ante was upped to ten dollars?
People get a bit weary when the price is upped. The fear of loosing a large amount of money scares some people.
5. Twenty?
When $20 was asked for straight up, that’s a lot of money and didn’t think anyone would hand it over.
6. Did you think the volunteers were foolish?
I think people who give out money are a little foolish but also on the other hand I find them generous. It really depends who they are giving it to.
