Ethics . . . ah, ethics. What meaning? What import? What benefit? For a variety of reasons, humanity has been studying ethics for thousands of years.
We're here to make the study of ethics easy and effective for you and your students.
How?
We've developed a collection of unique, age-appropriate Ethical Dilemma Discussion Guides you can use to help your students think about, talk about and learn about real ethics in a real world with real opportunities for those young men and women who ultimately 'get' real ethics.
If you'd like to 'see' what we're talking about, just send an Email to admin@ethicscount.org and we'll send a Free Sample Ethical Dilemma Discussion Guide and a Teaching Guide by return Email.
Questions about what is right and what is wrong have been asked and answered by everyone from Aristotle to Buddha to Christ to Plato to Socrates to the founding fathers and countless other men and women over the centuries to the present day
The dictionary tells us that ethics are ‘the rules of conduct or a system of moral principles recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions of a particular group, culture, etc’.
Okay . . . but why should ethics matter to anyone . . . especially today?
Isn’t the survival of the fittest the name of the game in the Twenty-First Century?
Isn’t each one of us supposed to be number one, the only one?
No.
Why?
Because, in the overall scheme of things, ethics do count; because history from ancient times through contemporary days has proven time and time again that the human experience is more rewarding for those who govern their lives by ethical principles.
Ethics in Education . . . If the Jury isn’t Out, Where is It?
Most educators get it . . . they understand that ethics count because they see what happens to students who are raised by parents and taught by educators who don’t get it.
According to a 2008 Associated Press report, nearly one-third of high school students in America were guilty of stealing at least one item from a store and if that wasn’t bad enough, more than three-fifths had cheated on tests. A number of studies have proven that ethics education can have a positive effect on students at every level . . . from K-12 to the community college level and through advanced degree programs in Ivy League schools.
Ironically, despite the evidence that ethics education works, too few school districts, community colleges, colleges and universities bother to take seriously the need to teach students how to identify and apply proper ethical standards to appropriate ethical challenges.
One wonders how much different that 2008 Associated Press report would have looked if K-12 educators had been willing to invest more time and energy in teaching ethics. Ethics education is about educators teaching students to search for, recognize and honor social responsibilities that exist within each profession. It is also about students learning to make ethical decisions without regard for expediency or self-interest.
The ultimate responsibility is yours . . . because only you can do what you do so well . . . teach your students to be the best they can be!
