Summary/Abstract: There is evidence that traditional courses in business ethics have not been successful in making students ethical. The conventional methods used to teach ethics include discussing case histories and studying the writings of great philosophers such as Kant. Using a text-based approach may not be ideal for reaching today's digitally-savvy students. The authors demonstrate numerous ways to instill values that include analyzing and studying cases, philosophy, history, literature, film, television, YouTube/TED talks, music, famous speeches, quotations, social justice humor, Scripture, Talmud/Midrash, Kabbalah, and Mussar.
