  • Encourage students to explore different cultural perspectives on these issues and how they may shape ethical behavior in the workplace.
  • Have students present their findings to the class and lead a discussion on the impact of cultural diversity on ethical behavior in the workplace.

Step 3: Application (1 week)

  • Have students work in groups to develop a case study of an ethical dilemma that they have identified in their research.
  • The case study should include information on the cultural backgrounds of the individuals involved, the ethical principles at play, and potential solutions to the dilemma.
  • Have students present their case studies to the class and lead a discussion on how cultural diversity can inform ethical decision-making in the workplace.
