The Power of Situations presented the idea that another will conclude that “It seems that ordinary attributions of character traits to people are often deeply misguided, and it may even be the case that there is no such thing as character, no ordinary character traits of the sort people think there are, none of the usual moral virtues and vices.” They also present the idea that ending character traits do not determine our behavior, rther, our behavior is determined by situation variables, such as experiments such as the Good Samaritan.

The final idea the author left for me was “Do I think character might be fiction, or over rated.?” After reading this, I do believe character might be a little over rated, but that just depends on that specific character. Although this may be true in some cases, there might be cases where the character of someone is more developed to have better reactions to experiments like this or anything else in general. I do also agree how people get away from the morals and vices they should have in acts like this which strengthens the point towards the negativity to character.
