Integrating Mini-Debates In Business & Society/business Ethics Classes

Abstract: This submission presents an activity I’ve done in my Business & Society classes in which students participate in debates. Issues up for debate are ethical dilemmas where the profit-seeking interests of business conflict with the broader interests of society. This submission provides classroom instructions and potential issues for debates, as well as a description of the how the session will proceed. Session attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a debate as either a debate team member or as a judge.
