This presentation was purchased by Butte College for use in the Ethics module of my courses. You will hear a situation that any of us might find ourselves in on any given day, and listen to the studio audience discussion about the right and wrong aspects of the situation. To quote the ethics expert, "Ethics is doing the right thing, even when you have to pay a higher price than you want to pay". Listen and consider what you would do in this situation and apply the discussion points to past situations you have faced. 

Ethical traps are the justifications we create when we want to take action outside of our typical ethical code of conduct. Listen to this episode and learn about 1) False Necessity 2) Doctrine of Relative Filth 3) Rationalization and 4) Ends-Justifies-the-Means.
