Would you blame the Butterfly?:
Interplay of Consequences, Ambiguity and Responsibility
Data Results
“No” far outweighed “Yes.”
No:147, yes:17, neither:4
However, I figured it would be better to conclude this stage with the engagement I had with the public, instead of the actual numbers of the result.
Even though I am looking at the numbers that will hopefully take the burden off of me, it has gotten heavier. The result of this poll is more than high percentage of “No”. It is a brutal, but a very realistic response. The conversation I had with the reality was:
Participant: “I can’t blame the poor butterfly!”
Me: “Why not?”
Participant: “Because, it’s too small and frail.”
And that was it. They don’t care.
It might’ve been the quick pace of the dot poll that restrained participants from thinking, but a new finding can be suggested here: the image of the butterfly had more power than its action.
