Intro To Ethics Bowl

Ethics Bowl is a debate-style competition but is very different from debate. Its founder, Bob Ladenson, views it as scoring a conversation and teaching people how to engage in dialog. It is a competitive yet collaborative event in which students discuss timely real-life ethical issues. Students are not assigned opposing views; rather, they defend whichever position they think is correct, provide each other with constructive criticism, and win by demonstrating that they have thought rigorously and systematically about the cases and engaged respectfully and supportively with all participants.

Following participation in the "Intro to Ethics Bowl" sessions, you will have the opportunity to join our team at the regional competition held at the University of Cincinnati! Winners of each regional competition advance to Nationals!
