Aims
This module is designed to enable students to gain an awareness of personal and professional conflicts arising through day-to-day activities. Adopting a tool-kit approach as to how to respond to such challenges the module will provide students with the necessary concepts, tools and theories for the challenges they will face in the workplace in understanding how ethical decision-making works.
Through a review of current ethical issues and the corresponding legislative frameworks and ‘unofficial societal demands,’ students will be able to evaluate conflicts and map out suitable strategies in order to respond appropriately without creating further long term reputational damage.
