About the Book

Ethical Challenges invites readers to think through the ethical challenges that we face in our everyday lives. Beginning with personal values and culminating with thoughts on the importance of forgiveness, this book provokes readers to think more broadly about how to act toward others.

This workbook has been used successfully in traditional and non-traditional settings from the high school through professional level education. Among its current uses is an inmate-led ethics program in the Michigan prison system. 

Ethics teachers may find it helpful to use in conjunction with a more theoretical book, Ethics in the First Person: A Guide to Teaching and Learning Practical Ethics (Rowman & Littlefield, 2007).
