Charles Ponzi's Theoretical Analysis

Charles Ponzi was a person who was notorious for his Ponzi scheme in the 1920s, and several others have committed fraudulent acts since then. Fraudulent acts are obtaining something through deception. A lot of fraudulent acts are committed by business students, possibly containing a lack of morals, and science students are also often accused of containing a lack of morals. This paper aims to analyze the connection between low morals, business students, and science students claimed by an article from Suzanne N. Cory, mainly using its methods and findings.
Methodology
This section of the paper will focus on the participants, materials, and procedure. The participants for this article were undergraduate students; a total of 274 undergraduate students were selected, while a total of 249 responses were usable. After they were selected, they would be tested using a modified survey already used in multiple studies. This survey contained a total of 32 statements, and the students were asked to determine if they agreed with the statement or not using a “7-point Likert-type scale,” 1 being strongly disagree while 7 being strongly agree (Cory, 2015, 272). After the results were recorded, the results of students who weren’t business …show more content…
Cory’s article, specifically from its methods and findings. What can be taken from this paper is that while there was only one big difference in morals between business and science students, there were a lot of differences between genders and the major of the gender. For men, they are more likely to obtain low morals than women no matter what major they are in, and they are also more likely to obtain low morals if they go into a business major rather than going into a science major. Women on the other hand, are more likely to obtain low morals if they go into a science major rather than a business
