Global Phone Test

“What would you do if you found a mobile phone?”

The responses that I got from my students were:

Keep it.
Ignore.
Call from the list.
Wait for someone to call.
Sell it.
Sell it and buy another phone.
Give it away as a gift.
Use the credit and then sell it.

I asked each one of them while trying to recall their names.
I still remember most names.

After that, I distributed the article ‘Global Phone Test’, from Reader’s Digest, August 2007 to almost 60 students and made them read the article and respond to it.

As requested, I would like to hear you views.

How do you feel when you discovered that the lowest return rate (43%) of the lost mobile phone is Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong?

Why do you think this happened?

What does it mean to you?

Does it mean that honesty is a rare virtue in our country?
