This question is about as true as a politician's campaign promise. I'm going with False, and I'm also going to request a recount on the last election while I'm at it.

I don't know, man. Ethics and values are all well and good, but have you met some of the people in my office? They'd sell their grandmothers for a promotion. I'm going with False, just to be on the safe side.

Hah! That's a good one. As if anyone with a mortgage and a family to feed would risk their job over a little fraud. I'm calling 'False' on this one, no doubt about it.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I mean, we all like to think we'd stand up to authority, but when the chips are down, who knows? I'll go with False, just to be on the safe side.

Well, I'd say that's a bit too absolute. Sure, strong personal values can be a deterrent, but let's not forget the power of peer pressure and the fear of consequences. I'd go with False on this one.
