The article discusses a test called the “trolley problem”. In this test, people must choose between letting a trolley hit five people or switching it to a track where it will hit one person. The experiment showed that people’s choices varied depending on who the one person was or looked like. This suggests that people might not be completely good or bad but can have biases that influence and shift their decisions.
The article explores a psychological experiment known as the "trolley problem" where individuals must make a decision between sacrificing five people by allowing a trolley to continue on its path, or diverting the trolley to hit just one person instead. Results of the experiment indicate that people's choices are influenced by factors such as the identity or appearance of the one person involved, suggesting that individuals may not always act purely out of morality but can be swayed by their own biases and prejudices.
