SDMC Business Ethics Discussion

After you read the chapter on ethics and business decision making, feel free to discuss anything of interest in the chapter. You may want to address a few of the Focus Questions and Ethics and the Role of Business. What are the various ethical standards, forms, principles and philosophies and when are they applicable? What is the relationship between Law and Ethics- What is the Gray Area? One of my favorites is Ethical Leadership-(think about that and politicians….)

LANDMARK CLASS DISCUSSION– This is a superb lecture. Please watch, the first half hour (the other half of the lecture we will cover in our Criminal Law Chapter). Please share your views- Think about how this relates to the Chapter , What Concepts are Applicable and Discuss.

The Moral Side of MurderIf you had to choose between (1) killing one person to save the lives of five others and (2) doing nothing, even though you knew that five people would die right before your eyes if you did nothing—what would you do? What would be the right thing to do? That’s the hypothetical scenario Professor Michael Sandel uses to launch his course on moral reasoning.
