Description

The question of whether ethics can be taught at all, much less to post-secondary level adults, has haunted philosophers, educators, and scholars for centuries. Educators and professionals continue to ask this question, and no definitive answer has yet come forth. Skeptics feel that morality and ethical standards have been well set by adulthood, and, as many great thinkers of the past have stated, virtue, like morality, is not something that can be taught. Others thinkers, equally qualified, feel that we can teach as well as influence character and behavior and therefore a person's fundamental ethical structure. It is my intention in this paper to explore both sides of this debate and why it more important than ever before to answer this age old question and to seek conclusions as to how a curriculum containing ethics education can be made more effective and relevant to current professional and business needs. A most important point must be introduced at this point. I draw a distinct separation between the teaching of origins and evolution of ethics as a philosophical concept, one which has been so beautifully developed and taught through the ages by many scholars and professors. These courses can and indeed must be introduced as a fundamental liberal arts core of knowledge to all students. We are in this paper, dealing strictly with the question of whether ethical practices and behavior can be taught in an academic environment to young people whose fundamental moral character has most likely already been largely formed. A moral imperative exists for educators of business and professional students to meet the challenge of dealing with what many feel is a wholesale breakdown in ethical practices, a breakdown that is impacting almost ever sector of our social, political and economic life.
