We experience ethical dilemma's everyday, it is difficult to not conform to society's norms and rules, for instances, recall the Milgram Obedience Experiment. Although, the subjects knew and contested what they were condoning was wrong they did not disobey.

Dead Poets Society and Integrity
As a leader, I believe it important to have integrity. In Dead Poets Society, Mr. Keating not only stays true to his own values and beliefs as a teacher, but also encourages his students to do so as well.

As future leaders, we must practice integrity in all aspects of our lives. It is our responsibility to not only encourage among others integrity, but to also be approachable, so others feel comfortable to come forward and challenge ethical dilemmas.

Morgan,
ReplyDeleteI think the video you posted shows the need for people to not only have strong moral principles, but to stand by them when they feel it is needed. The man continued to questioned whether what he was doing was right, and it got to a point where he would not go any further. In the movie some of the boys had a line and they did not want to cross it. They did not want to blame Mr. Keating for something he did not do. Mr. Keating was something who the students trusted and went to with their problems. He was someone that they looked up to and is a great example of a leader who knew how to motivate and encourage his students to live their own lives.
