CREDIT HOURS: 3
What is a good thing to do? What is the right thing to do? What ethical obligations do managers and decision-makers have to others, whether those be the user of their products and services, their community, their workplace, the environment, or humanity more broadly? In this course, students will explore the basics of ethical reasoning and learn how to apply it to the workplace. After establishing a framework with which to undertake ethical analysis, this course presents students with a series of controversial case studies that they will learn to evaluate critically. Students will learn how to compose the central format with which information is transmitted in a wide range of corporate and governmental environments, the brief. A secondary, but no less important, outcome of this course is that students will have a better understanding of their own ethical commitments in the workplace and in their personal lives. Through the tutorials, students will build skills in writing, facilitation, conflict resolution, and moral reasoning. Ultimately, this course aims for students to be equipped with a 'toolbox' to navigate ethical conundrums and commitments in their own professional and personal lives.
