**Gino-Norton-Ariely**

Although people buy counterfeit
products to signal positive traits, we show that wearing counterfeit products
makes individuals feel less authentic and increases their likelihood of both
behaving dishonestly and judging others as unethical. In four experiments,
participants wore purportedly fake or authentically branded sunglasses. Those
wearing fake sunglasses cheated more across multiple tasks than did participants
wearing authentic sunglasses, both when they believed they had a preference for
counterfeits (Experiment 1a) and when they were randomly assigned to wear them
(Experiment 1b). Experiment 2 shows that the effects of wearing counterfeit
sunglasses extend beyond the self, influencing judgments of other people's
unethical behavior. Experiment 3 demonstrates that the feelings of
inauthenticity that wearing fake products engenders-what we term the
counterfeit self-mediate the impact of counterfeits on unethical behavior.
Finally, we show that people do not predict the impact of counterfeits on
ethicality; thus, the costs of counterfeits are deceptive.

**Rawls**

John Rawls – American moral and political
philosopher. His magnum opus is A Theory of Justice (1971). His work in
political philosophy, dubbed Rawlsianism, takes as its starting point the
argument that "the most reasonable principles of justice are those
everyone would accept and agree to from a fair position".

condemned the 1915 Armenian genocide and remained a strong defender of human
rights during his lifetime. His book Night is about his experience with his

**Parfit**

Derek Parfit – British philosopher who specialises
in problems of personal identity, rationality, ethics, and the relations among
them. Parfit is singular in his meticulously rigorous and almost mathematical
investigations into personal identity.

Parfit describes his loss of belief in a separate self as
liberating:

My life seemed
like a glass tunnel, through which I was moving faster every year, and at the
end of which there was darkness... [However] When I changed my view, the walls
of my glass tunnel disappeared. I now live in the open air. There is still a
difference between my life and the lives of other people. But the difference is
less. Other people are closer. I am less concerned about the rest of my own
life, and more concerned about the lives of others.
