There are instances when we are arrested by a small act of kindness, and a few characters do appeal to our empathy as they wade through the rivers of gore.
We are not paid, for instance, when we're out sick or at doctor appointments.
We cheat more, for instance, when we're in a messy environment — one that has more signs of socially deviant behavior, like litter, graffiti, and other rubble.
In press conferences, for instance, when we're talking, he's rolling his eyes like a schoolgirl, pretending he's not listening.
At a time when there is broad agreement that we should recalibrate our diplomatic efforts to focus more on Asia, this is an instance when we're backing away from Asia because of this domestic political crisis.
For instance, when we're under time pressure at work, we might be less likely to listen to all ideas equally, and more likely to align ourselves with the most powerful person present.
For instance, when we were covering Indonesia, and he has a wealth of knowledge and experience working in Indonesia and everything.
So, for instance, when we are warned that a man raising a daughter cloned from his wife's cells would be irresistibly attracted to her, we are really hearing anxieties about our own incestuous fantasies.
For instance, when we are in a foul mood, we quite literally see less than when we are happy.
For instance, when we are working in cultures outside of our own we typically need to spend more time doing that research than we do if we're interviewing people that are our neighbours or our friends and designing for them.
