<p>Is Conscience a More Powerful Motivator Than Money, Power, or Fame?</p>
<p>People's conscience is an important tool that serves as a guideline for their actions. It distinguishes between the right and the wrong and promotes people to become more conscientious. However, human conscience did not stop Hitler from the genocide of European Jews; similarly, conscience played no part in the once popular reality TV show "The Moment of Truth" where contestants were asked increasingly personal and embarrassing questions as they progressed through the levels. More powerful motivators such as power and money often shroud people's decisions and cloud their judgements. </p>
<p>It is common knowledge that Hitler murdered millions of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and people with disabilities in order to create his perfect Aryan race. Many historians have questioned Hitler's sanity. How can anyone responsible for the mass extermination of so many people show no remorse or shame? The answer is simple: his quest for power had blinded his ethical values. Hitler's desire for total dominance over the rest of the world had become so compelling that the death of millions was a small price to pay. </p>
<p>The modern belief that people will do anything for money is perfectly illustrated in "The Moment of Truth." Contestants are asked extremely personal questions in witness of their family and friends while being strapped to the lie detector. Unbelievably, many people actually unveiled their infidelity towards their spouses or their underlying hate towards their best friend. This show demonstrates the power of greed and how easily people are swayed into betraying their better conscience. </p>
<p>Conscience is universally presented in every human being. However, so frail is the tiny voice in people's heads that it can be easily overpowered by lesser yet greater motivators such as money or power. More often than not, these motivators are a greater driving force than people's conscience.</p>
