More Ethical than You
Ask similar questions to find out if you or your partner is more ethical, for example 2nd conditional questions with “If… would you… or would you…?”
What kind of ethical dilemmas come up in business, e.g. in the food industry, mobile phone operators, record companies, computer and telecommunications companies, the financial sector, oil and mining groups, and footwear and clothing brands?
Read the text on pg 94 and check, then hold business meetings to decide what you would do in each of the situations.
