Abstract: | This article analyses a live ethics case project that can be used to teach ethics in a broad variety of business classes. Students select an on-going or current event that involves ethical violations and write a case about it. Then they present theei case and run a debate about the challenges and issues outlined in the case and the actions that could have or should have been taken. This represents effective ethics education, while it increases awareness of the complexity of ethical challenges, allows application of concepts, creates a personal emotional engagement in the case, is relevant, holds students accountable for their position, and creates a setting that encourages students to think critically about ethics. |
