Answer:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A runaway trolley is barreling down a track. It’s headed toward five helpless people who can’t possibly get out of the way in time. But you’ve seen it coming. If you throw a single switch, you can put the trolley on a different track. Unfortunately, there’s someone standing on that second track who will now get hit. What do you do? Throw the switch and doom one person? Or do nothing and watch five die?
Thankfully, this situation isn’t real. It is a thought problem known as “the trolley problem.” Tiffany Sun, 17, used it to explore biases in people against certain types of appearance, of apparent income or of disability. Her results show some of our darkest behaviors. But knowing that those dark sides exist might help us fight to counter them, she says.
