This week’s lesson discussed some of the attempts throughout history to codify moral precepts
for universal prescription. Consider and comment on the following questions:
1. Imagine that you are asked to develop a code of ethics for a company. On which of the ‘rules’
discussed in the lesson would you base this code, and why?
2. What would the world look like today if the Allied powers had followed Gandhi’s advice during
World War II? Given your answer, what does this tell us about the fallibility of the golden/silver
rule?
