Description
This session will be a discussion on ‘ethics in football and other sports’. So, it will facilitate a (hopefully light-hearted) debate about: * Ethics relating to football and different sports ...(i.e. golf and snooker). Specific points of discussion include footballers diving/cheating and trying to hide it – golfers and snooker players, in contrast, being honest when they make a mistake (i.e. touching the ball – they don’t hide the fact that they should be penalised). * There is a question why some sports people don’t get penalised (i.e. basketball shirt tugging for instance). * We’ll think about how wider social views/judgements are shaped or influenced by sport and how this might be relevant to business and law students (i.e. plagiarism). This session is also used in Open University Business and Law schools induction 2017.
