One Way or the Other

One Way or the Other is a collection of more than 100 transcriptions of discussions of real ethical decisions faced by interviewees, compiled over several years, and spanning different countries and cultures, edited for concision.

The cases are clustered into sections including duties and responsibilities, responding to others, compromises, dignity and respect, and life and death. Although short and easily digestible, the real-life elements of the case vignettes make them the ideal foundation for instructor-led or participant-led discussions. Designed to be part of courses covering different aspects of applied ethics, they can also work to support learning and development in business and public service.
