Anthropology studies gets exciting every week. This week, we study the priority seats in MRT trains. Why do people sit on priority seats/ reserved seats? Why do they not give up their seats to those who are in need?
We also got to take trains from Woodlands to Ang Mo Kio during class time to do some observation of human behaviour towards priority seats. Heh. Shiok.
I just read Freakonomics (you should too) and I wish I had the time to answer these questions!
