Watch a movie about a business scandal (this may require a video subscription) and/then research the scandal. If you are unable to watch a movie/documentary about a scandal then just researching it is fine.
Suggested scandals/movies/documentaries:
Smartest Guys in the Room (ENRON) (Amazon Prime Channels or Rent)
All the Queens Horses (Rita Cranwell, City of Dixon) (YouTube) This is about embezzlement at a City but it is acceptable.
Dirty Money (Netflix Series Covering a variety of scandals) (Netflix) You may use any episode except “The Confidence Man”, ” The Man at the Top” “Slumlord Millionaire” or “Dirty Gold”. The Season One episodes are better suited to this assignment.
At a minimum discuss:
The particulars of the case
The critical ethical issues
What was the outcome for the organization?
What was the outcome for the perpetrators?
How do you believe most people would act in a similar circumstance?
How would you react and what could you do now to try to protect yourself and avoid getting caught up in something?
