Description

Ethics are how groups define right from wrong. Codes of Ethics define good behavior from bad behavior for professionals. When we break those codes, we "break bad." For five seasons, the popular television show "Breaking Bad" explored the transformation of one good man breaking bad. This session provides an overview of ethics and why people break bad, while using examples from the TV show as well as case studies of good people who broke bad.

"Daniel Porter kept things very interesting with his different options for making ethical decisions / gray area. Also relating things to Breaking Bad (which I've never seen) - and how the decisions to "turn" unethical can happen."
