Ethics For Dummies: Why Ethics Matter

Ethics For Dummies: Why Ethics Matter



The Golden Rule and Beyond: Ethics For Dummies Reveals Easy Tips for Being a Better (More Ethical) You!

If you're like most people, the word "ethics" conjures images of dull lectures from ancient professors or long, drawn-out debates that aren't applicable to real life. Think again: from Ponzi schemes and the fallout of blame in the BP oil spill to running a red light and downloading music on the Internet, we face ethical dilemmas daily.

Ethics For DummiesŪ (Wiley, June 2010, ISBN: 978-0-4705917-1-0, $19.99) is a practical, friendly guide that takes the headache out of the often-confusing subject of ethics. It examines the controversial facets of ethical thought in plain English and explores the definition of "good" versus "evil." The book provides easy-to-grasp tools to tackle and understand today's important questions and ethical dilemmas.

Other lessons include:

  • Ethics 101: What It Is and Why You Should Care

  • A Snapshot of Key Ethical Theories

  • Applying Ethics to Real Life (Yes! Even You Can Do This)

  • Ethical Dilemmas Likely to Arise in the Future (And We Aren't Talking About Movie Plots Here!)

    Whether you're interested in the ongoing debates surrounding current events, are currently enrolled in an ethics course, or just simply want to be better at doing what's right, Ethics For Dummies has you covered!
