How Good People Make Tough Choices: Resolving the Dilemmas of Ethical Living
The book is a little confusing and doesn’t offer a lot of insights on the decisions of real life ethical probelms with real life people.
Good information but not something I would read again. Very dry chapters and some lack any formal directions on the proposed information.
Didnt use this book much for class, but what i did read was easy to read and very well written.
This is an excellent book and along with Donald V. Paone’s “To Be or Not to Be: Reflections of Modern Bioethical Choices” (also available from Amazon.com) is must reading if those who confront the problems of living morally in the modern world.
using this book in place of a traditional textbook for my business ethics course. Good and quick read. And speedy delivery.
