Ethical Activity Unit 7

Activity #7: Real or Reel

Timeframe: 30 minutes

Skills Required/Ethical Principles Involved: Communication, Collaboration, Trust, Teamwork, Integrity Supplies: Paper, pens/pencils

Description: This activity encourages students to link ethics principles to popular movies and TV shows by identifying unethical scenes and rewriting them to better represent ethical behavior.

Process: Separate students into groups of four or five. Tell students to brainstorm popular movies or TV shows that feature ethical dilemmas (e.g., The Good Place, Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy, Dexter, The Office, The Boys, etc.). Ask students to choose one show or movie scene in which an ethical dilemma plays out (e.g., lying, cheating, disrespect, stereotyping, relationships, informed consent, racism, harassment, etc.). If possible, allow students to go online to access the scene or script for reference. Have students evaluate and explain the unethical behavior, linking to specific ethical principles, and then ask students to rewrite the scene, displaying ethical behavior instead. If students are enthusiastic and willing, encourage the groups to present their rewritten scenes to the class. If not, encourage group discussion and explain the rewritten changes.

Wrap-Up: Discuss the prevalence of ethical issues in popular movies and TV shows—are there common themes? Are there larger ethical themes running throughout the show? How would rewriting one scene impact the rest of the episode or show? Would these shows and movies still be interesting if they featured only ethical behavior? Why do we watch these shows? How do we engage with media?

Simple Short Example of Capstone Project: Business Plan (Crunch Time!!!)

In a team of 3-4 students you will need to come up with a business plan idea and have it prepared to present to a local bank in 48 hours for your funding. You only will have 2 class periods to come up with a business idea, a company name, and create your plan in PowerPoint or Google Slides. In the business world this happens a lot, you are often give a task with only a few days to complete.

Sharing of responsibilities and collaborating will be key for your group.
