Ethics Workshop Part 4 - Case Study Group Report-Outs 

I watched all four parts and not only did I enjoy but also benefitted. I have never had the opportunity to follow a program on ethics and I am indeed very thankful that it was made available to the public. In fact, I started watching a few programs on ethics but this was one that captured my attention and go the distance so I should thank Professor Shannon E. French for her enthusiasm and the ability to engage the listener even at a distance! My interest was from a construction business ethics perspective and the Workshop provided me with a basic framework to raise many questions. Thank you.

well, ive read a couple of books now, on ethics, and made it through all four of these videos (not the full experience im sure) - but i find myself now ambivalent to many things. Its like anything can be equally justified - both sides - and since time and event roll along, you can never evaluate the "end" consequence... it keeps going. The cause-effect of the future cant be known (50 years, 100 year or even a 1000 years from now, which, in the grand scheme of things are mere flickers of time). The categorical imperative seems to fill this gap; but then, WHICH virtue is to be optimised for? If it a matter of self selection, then the inherent bias means we can never get away from value-judgements. Kinda leaves me ambivalent...
