What Do Schoolteachers and Sumo Wrestlers Have in Common?

Chapter one deals with cheating, societal mores, and economic incentives. Thoroughly discuss the economic incentives that cause usually honest/moral people to cheat. Choose TWO of the situations discussed in the chapter: Tardy parents, sumo wrestlers and/or school teachers. Thoroughly explain what the two groups that you have chosen have in common, what their economic incentives are/were, whether these incentives succeeded or failed, and why. Additionally, you must provide an example of cheating that you have personally witnessed (friend, someone you know, family member, etc.) for economic or other incentives, and discuss why this occurred, whether it was successful and how, or, if not, what were the adverse consequences of this action
