  • Looking at the 'Dark Side' of Creativity
    14 December 2011 | voaspecialenglish.com Looking at the 'Dark Side' of Creativity AP An English examination at Dongguan Technology Institute in Guangdong province, China, in 2007. Students were given different test versions in an effort to prevent cheating. (Download an MP3 of this story at voaspecialenglish.com) This is the VOA Special English Health Report. Not all cheaters are creative. But apparently enough creative people cheat to interest researchers like Francesca Gino. Professor Gino is a behavioral economist at the Harvard Business School in Massachusetts. Behavioral economists use ideas from psychology to study how people make economic choices. FRANCESCA GINO: "Interestingly, there are actually a lot of examples in the literature, novels, movies, comic books about this idea of the evil genius, but really no empirical evidence for this relationship." BATMAN (ADAM WEST): "He's terrorized Gotham City, he's baffled the police department and he's held us up to public ridicule." Fans of old TV shows might recognize Batman and Robin, struggling to catch one of those evil geniuses -- the Joker. 2 BATMAN: "Gloating on his own success, he may be planning some super crime and stumble on his own pride." ROBIN (BURT WARD): "And how do we go about stopping him?" BATMAN: "Just go about our normal routine and let the venomous viper trap himself." ROBIN: "And when he does." BATMAN: "Snap!" ROBIN: "Caught in a bat trap!" BATMAN: "Right." Professor Gino was less interested in catching cheaters than understanding them. She tested volunteers to see how creative they were. Then she tested them in situations involving small amounts of money, where they could earn extra by cheating.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Film & TV › Features Film Reviews TV Reviews Festivals TV Review: Gotham Series 1 Episode 10: ‘Lovecraft’ Wayne Manor’s under attack in Gotham’s mid-season finale. Niall Whitehead reviews Monday 22 December 2014 Rating: ★★★☆☆ Well, folks, for Gotham’s first half of the season, this is the end of the road! Or, perhaps more appropriately, the end of the seedy-looking alley on the way back from the opera house. It’s been good! It’s been bad! Mostly bad! But the series has shown potential, at least enough of it to merit the existence of the rest of the season. But what about ‘Lovecraft’ itself? The episode begins with Wayne Manor set upon by a gang of ruthless and mysterious assassins (judging by their skills and their focus on only murdering the “deserving”, I’m holding on to my League of Shadows theory), forcing Little Bruce to run for the hills. But it’s not him they’re after – it’s Selina Kyle, the only witness to the murder of his parents, and the corrupt businessman, Lovecraft, that Gordon’s currently trying to bring down… It’s Bruce and Selina’s plot that stands out most, out of all the threads that get tied up this episode. And that’s a sentence I didn’t think I’d end up typing. Most of the stuff given to Bruce this season’s felt somewhat forced, and an episode mostly reliant on two child actors never bodes particularly well, but the two of them carried it off well enough.

As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Film & TV › Features Film Reviews TV Reviews Festivals TV Review: Gotham Series 1 Episode 5: ‘Viper’ There’s a new drug on the streets of Gotham. Niall Whitehead reviews… the TV show, that is Tuesday 18 November 2014 Rating: ★★★★☆ Another week, another episode of Gotham, Channel 5’s newest Batmanless Batman show! Thus far, it’s been so OK it’s not bad – it’s still managed to remain worth watching, though. This week, there’s a new drug hitting the streets: Viper, seemingly a prototype of the infamous Venom drug that gives Bane his super-strength in the comics. Users get that same power, lugging cash machines over their shoulders and throwing people through doors, but quickly suffer a fatal case of withdrawal when the effects wear off. It’s up to Gordon and Bullock to cut off the flow, and find out who’s out there supplying it… All that means that Gotham takes another step forward this episode from noirish corruption to comic- book super-villainy. Our villain of the week – another disgruntled citizen worn down by the system, much like the Balloonman – pioneers the proud Gotham traditions of hijacking television channels and gassing the audience. The emergence of Viper gives us our first look at actual superpowers, too – complete with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D-esque dodgy CGI, so it’s nice to know they have something in common.
