"CXO" Ethics Essay
Scholarship: To enter this competition, students are asked to write a
900-word essay on the question of what ethics means to them: Do ethics impact
your friendships? Schoolwork? How you interact with your parents? Teachers?
Coworkers? With all the news about Enron, WorldCom, politicians, and religious
leaders in trouble, the purpose is to explore how "ethics" (or lack of them)
have affected these current situations. Entry deadline is May 30, 2003.
