Book Reviews of Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Business Ethics and Society (Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Business Ethics and Society)

Book Review: Very dated view of ethics
Summary: 3 Stars

This book was not a good choice for the ethics class I took in college. One example was the Ford Pinto case. The arguments for Ford were very clear, but the case of the explosion was a reprint of an article readily available on the Internet. Many of the case studies were not apples to apples - but bananas to apples - meaning not equally persuasive on both sides.

The instructor who taught our class used old materials like this book -i.e. Ethics in America. If he had used a couple of the cases, that would have been great. There are much better ethics resources out there that are up to date and have recent and relevant cases.

Summary of Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Business Ethics and Society (Taking Sides: Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in Business Ethics and Society)

This Tenth Edition of TAKING SIDES: CLASHING VIEWS IN BUSINESS ETHICS AND SOCIETY presents current controversial issues in a debate-style format designed to stimulate student interest and develop critical thinking skills. Each issue is thoughtfully framed with an issue summary, an issue introduction, and a postscript. An instructor's manual with testing material is available for each volume. USING TAKING SIDES IN THE CLASSROOM is also an excellent instructor resource with practical suggestions on incorporating this effective approach in the classroom.
