Ethical Transgressions: Tales of Corruption

This course is designed with information from actual “ripped from the headlines” ethics cases. Most of these cases are on the extreme end of ethical misdeeds, but there’s a lot that can be learned about “doing the right thing” from examining these cases.

An ethical decision-making model will be presented in relation to each case. The key to utilizing an ethical decision-making model is appreciating how each case may be useful depending on the circumstances. By better realizing what is needed in a given situation, you can do a better job of choosing the right decision-making model to address necessary issues.
