Leaders have pondered ethical problems since before the days of Ancient Greece. Today, people continue to reflect on challenges to personal and organizational integrity, moral decision-making, and standardizing behavior through a common set of rules. Students discuss parameters set by great leaders and philosophers of the past and challenge many long-standing beliefs that govern modern thinking about ethics and integrity. They explore situations that, while appearing relatively simple, led to the professional demise of leaders and public disrespect for organizations. They draw on their own beliefs and experiences to debate how and why certain decisions are made. Students explore contemporary issues such as abortion, gun control, and political influence.
