What would you like to achieve in completing your Case Study?
After reading the case study on Sen. Jim Norman’s acceptance of his guilt after committing an unethical thing through acceptance of a gift of $500, 000 and not disclosing when submitting the financial disclosure form in 2010 really meant a lot to me on the issue of ethics. Unethical practices often bore holes into ones consciousness and evoke feelings of guilt. Sen. Jim Norman was constantly haunted by that issue from all sides by the media and his people, thereby coming up with the decision of putting his past behind once and for all through settling that amount.
