Everyday Ethics : A Case Study Analysis Paperback / softback

This book expands the current discussion on ethics, addressing the gap between "headline" ethics cases, which are often extreme and taken from a business context, and the everyday ethical challenges that we all face in school, work, relationships, and communities.

Case studies throughout demonstrate concepts and provide opportunities for readers to apply theory as they consider everyday issues such as the temptation to lie about an arrest on a job application, peer pressure to steal or drink, and the implications of "ratting out" a classmate who is cheating or a co-worker who is stealing.

By including a broad array of ethical challenges, this book makes ethics more accessible to the reader.

Drawing from several academic disciplines, including social psychology and organizational behavior, this book explores the personal and environmental factors that influence our ethical decision-making.

The book is appropriate for ethics courses in an array of disciplines as well as anyone interested in ethical challenges.
