Columbia final Case

Put yourself in the mindset that you are Eric Indelicato. What key decisions did "you" have to make?

1) How might you apply what we have covered so far in this course to explain "your" choices and actions. E.g.

• Which biases best characterize "your" views and decisions?
• What types of bounded awareness (if any) help explain "your" views?
• Do any of the behaviors on the WRAP checklist help you describe what "you" did or didn't do? (See slide 3 of the attached file)

2) What shaped "your" thoughts, decisions and behavior? E.g.

• What assumptions and beliefs?
• What pressures? Where did they originate?
• How did culture impact "you"?

3) Also consider:

• If that actually was you why might you have acted the same way? How might you have acted differently?
• Can you see any parallels between this case and experiences you may have had?
