UPLOAD EACH DISCUSSION SEPARATELY

Discussion 1 (Mary)

Dr. Wigand displayed moral intelligence by demonstrating empathy for others while still being courageous to bring awareness to an unethical situation. A person with moral intelligence must manage an ethical problem through self-sacrifice, which shows a commitment to improving circumstances for an individual or group (Hadian Shirazi & Sabetsarvestani, 2021). A person’s ability to whistle blow to bring change does take strength and a commitment to ethical principles. Since not all are willing to take the risk to take a stance against unethical actions, do you think ethical characteristics can evolve over time?

Discussion 2 (Pat)

You make some great points about having the moral intelligence to step up and do the right thing if/when necessary. The fact is, people are still determining how they will handle this kind of predicament if they were presented with such a tough choice. There are so many moving parts and so many individuals to consider. How will this difficult decision affect them? Is it ethical to sacrifice one to save many? Dr. Wigan essentially sacrificed his career, status, and family to expose the horrors of the tobacco industry. I would love to ask him that if he had to do it over again, would he make the same decision?
