Ethical Activity Unit 5
Ethical Activity Unit 5
Activity #5: Today’s News
Timeframe: 30-45 minutes
Skills Required/Ethical Principles Involved: Communication, Teamwork, Transparency, Respect, Integrity
Supplies: Newspapers, internet access
Description: In this activity, students will locate ethics-related articles from prominent newspapers or news sites, analyze their findings, and discuss the ethical elements described in each article.
Process: Provide students with copies of several newspapers, if possible, or enable them to access online news sites (AP, BBC, NPR, Reuters, etc.). Give students five to 10 minutes to explore the headlines and individually locate three to five articles that feature clear ethical elements. Separate the class into small groups of three to five students and have each group discuss their examples. Students should discuss why they were drawn to each article, the specific ethical situation, the ethical principles involved, whether a decision was reached, and if so, whether it was ethical. Each group should select one example to present to the class and explain their findings.
Wrap-Up: Lead a group discussion highlighting common themes across the news examples. Which ethical situations were most compelling? In the articles, what types of decisions were individuals tasked with making? How did students decide whether a decision was ethical? What core values did students rely on? What would they have done differently, if given the chance? What comparisons can students make between the articles and their own lives?
