Ethics in Business, codes of conduct, financial and labour market irregularity
Aimed at Curriculum for Excellence Level 3 but can be adapted to suit other levels.
The concept of the ‘ethical company’ and the implications of this on worldwide trade are part of this task. The ethical concept also makes demands on the nature of the treatment of individuals within and out with the company.
Pupils will explore this concept and apply the principles in a proposed company created by each group.
Pupils will also work together to explore the ‘Millennium Development Goals’ and their contribution to the peoples of the world.
The demonstration of learning will take the form of a presentation by each group of their proposed company to a panel of ‘experts’ in a ‘dragon’s den’ style of debate.
