We Are Not as Ethical as We Think We Are
Conversations about Low Visibility Decisions that Corrupt Government, Business and Ourselves"There is no such thing as a small ethical decision...and the most important person to be vigilant about is you.”
In six compelling chapters, this book recounts conversations between the author and his students to reveal answers to the most important questions of all: what is ethical, why doesn’t it occur more often, and how can we improve ethical conduct in our personal and public life?
Confronts our preoccupation with our personal happiness and success, in favor of concern for others. Our actions nearly always impact others, so their interests should be at the center of our vision.

Critical Thinking About Criminal Justice
This book has been designed for two broad purposes: to convey basic information about the nature of crime and the operation of the criminal justice system, while also giving students critical thinking tools to assess the arguments made about criminal justice issues by others every day. Whether one’s ultimate goal is to become a criminal justice professional, or simply a more informed citizen, it is crucial that knowledge of criminal justice is more widely known, and that debates about crime and justice are filled with facts, rather than mere rhetoric. Critical thinking exercises, based on actual cases, appear at the end of every chapter in this book. In this way, students get practice in critical thinking by assessing the arguments of others, using a clear framework.
Critical thinking has become the mantra of those looking to change the way education and learning occur. Rather than emphasizing the accumulation of facts, which still dominates education today at all levels, critical thinking emphasizes instead the ability to evaluate viewpoints, facts, and behaviors objectively, to assess the presentation of information---or methods of argumentation--- to establish the true worth of an act or course of conduct. In essence, critical thinking is about discerning truth. Critical thinking provides the method to determine the truth by helping to separate the deceptive use of information and arguments that mask false or misleading statements.
