Ethics/ The Circle

Round and Round, We Go A Circle Has No Beginning or End – JK Rowling

The questions below are designed to test your understanding of the concepts raised

in our business ethics lectures and the film, The Circle. Your answers should show

your understanding of the business ethics ideas and prove that you watched the

film!

1. Eamon says, “Knowing is good, but knowing everything is better.” Give one example from your own life that proves this statement IS true.

2. One of the fundamental principles of The Circle is “Sharing is Caring.” Give one specific example from your own life that proves this statement IS

NOT true.

3. In your opinion, what would be the BEST part of working for The Circle? Use details (examples/specific ideas/scenes) from the film to explain your

answer.

4. Mae tells us she behaves “better” when she is being watched. She is her “worst” self when no one is watching, which can lead to bad, illegal, even

dangerous behavior. In your opinion, how accurate is this belief? Do humans

need to be watched to prevent them from behaving badly? Or, do ethics keep

people from behaving badly? Use as much detail, examples, and life

experiences to fully answer this question.
