Overview for Approaching Ethical Issues

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Discussing ethical issues can be problematic. Before beginning any discussion of ethical issues and biases, show this series of videos that lays the groundwork by providing an overview of the terminology needed and examples of the terms so that there is a shared understanding of the factors that influence ethical thinking. The first video defines ethics, while subsequent videos look at moral reasoning, intuitive and emotional reactions, and biases that motivate what may be considered ethical or unethical behaviors.
