This webinar covers a high level introduction to the subject of ethics as a primer for understanding the basics of ethics (for those who may not have had any previous formal education or training in ethics). This will help to serve as a framework for approaching the discussion of case studies. A number of brief case studies will be presented, and participants will be given an opportunity to respond in text to questions posed about each case study, including how they might respond in these situations. We will then consider and discuss the case study scenario and our various responses.
