What you will learn

  • Become familiar with the types of contributions that neuroscience makes to our understanding of our personal ethics.
  • Develop an understanding of the phases of moral development that can be seen in many people.
  • Compare individual and organizational moral development, paying particular attention to the notion of “tone at the top.”

Description

Are our ethics “hard wired” as part of our DNA, or are our ethics developed as part of our habit formation over time? In other words, is our personal morality a matter of nature or nurture? Even the most seasoned professionals find it challenging to consistently exercise practical judgment and strong objectivity. This workshop considers the influences that create this tension, taking into account neuroscience, moral development, and the ethical parameters of professional ethics.
