website

1. Innovation Futurists – These people see the benefits of change in all aspects of life

2. Innovation Realists– These are people that are enthusiastic about technology as long as its benefits, especially in social terms, can be clearly articulated

3. Innovation Sceptics – this term stands for a group of people representing 16% of UK population, who are particularly worried about the pace of change in society and feel innovation offers them little but threats

4. Innovation Romantics – this group view new gadgets and technology as exciting and interesting but tend not to engage with innovation in the long term.

5. Innovation Creatives – These are typically younger than average, and display high levels of creativity and have a social perspective on life.

Post here your result:

You are an Innovation Creative!

You are confident, sociable and on-trend, and you are interested in new ideas that use creativity to solve practical problems.

You tend to be an early adopter of new technology and ideas, and you are quick to recommend new products to your peers.

However, you sometimes struggle to bring innovation together as a single concept, and tend to think about innovation in the context of your own hobbies and interests.

You represent 19% of the UK population.

Innovation Realist

Innovation Realists appreciate new ideas but are not excited by them for their own sake. They believe that doing the right thing by others is more important than innovation at any cost. They acknowledge that it is necessary to keep pace with change and they balance the drawbacks of new ideas with the benefits.

Moral Dilemmas

This is the website where I took from this quiz.

Discuss with your classmates your choice!

1.
You are at your best friend’s wedding just an hour before the ceremony is to start. Earlier that day, you came across definitive proof that your best friend’s spouse-to-be is having an affair with the best man/maid of honor, and you catch them sneaking out of a room together looking disheveled. If you tell your friend about the affair, their day will be ruined, but you don’t want them to marry a cheater. What do you do?

2. 
You are an eyewitness to a crime: A man has robbed a bank, but instead of keeping the money for himself, he donates it to a poor orphanage that can now afford to feed, clothe, and care for its children. You know who committed the crime. If you go to the authorities with the information, there’s a good chance the money will be returned to the bank, leaving a lot of kids in need. What do you do?

3. 
You’re involved in a two-car crash on your way to work one morning in which you accidentally hit and kill a pedestrian. As you get out of the car, you are intercepted by a tearful woman who seems to think that she hit and killed the pedestrian. You’re not sure why she thinks she hit the person, but she is convinced. There’s only you, the woman, and the person you hit on the road; there are no witnesses. You know that whoever is deemed responsible will probably be sent to jail. What do you do? 

4. 
Your family is vacationing alone on a private stretch of beach with no lifeguard. Your daughter and your niece, both 7, are best friends and eager to get into the water. You caution them to wait until the water calms some, but they defy you and sneak in anyway. You soon hear screams of distress and find them both caught in a strong current. You are the only swimmer strong enough to save them, but you can only save one at a time. Your niece is a very poor swimmer and likely won’t make it much longer. Your daughter is a stronger swimmer, but only has a 50% chance of holding on long enough for you to come back for her. Who do you save first?

5.
You are an EMT on the scene of a car crash that involves your spouse and the lover you didn’t know s/he had. They are both gravely injured, your spouse’s injuries the worst of them. You can tell it’s unlikely s/he will pull through. Meanwhile, his/her lover has a neck wound that will prove fatal if pressure isn’t applied soon. Whom do you choose to work on? 

6.
You are a doctor at a top hospital. You have six gravely ill patients, five of whom are in urgent need of organ transplants. You can’t help them, though, because there are no available organs that can be used to save their lives. The sixth patient, however, will die without a particular medicine. If s/he dies, you will be able to save the other five patients by using the organs of patient 6, who is an organ donor. What do you do?

• We can use the present continuous for plans or arrangements:
