Falling in Love with the Law: A Themed Class Activity Teaching Note
Get PDFThis Teaching Note provides numerous potential topics for an engaging and informative Valentines-themed Legal Environment of Business class activity. Each topic is in some way related to Valentine’s Day and can be used to illustrate a variety of legal and ethical principles. Instructors are encouraged to really lean into the theme. For example, you could wear pink, give out Valentine’s cards, play a sappy love song, lower the lighting and light candles, etc. A themed class serves as a welcome break from the traditional lecture for both instructor and students. There are enough potential topics listed in this Teaching Note to cover an entire class, or just a 15-minute, interactive, themed quiz using Kahoot!, Quizlet, or Poll Everywhere. Note that this activity does not have to be limited to legal topics covered up to this point in the semester. The lighthearted, relaxed environment in which a variety of topics are casually discussed is an excellent method to get the class excited about—and considering the implications of—topics that will come later in the semester

The Paradox of DEI: How Lofty Ideals Became Hated
Get PDFThere are numerous terms that should be seen as positive values but have been co-opted by today’s culture wars. These terms include “woke,” “social justice,” “cancel culture,” “identity politics,” “politically correct,” “Black Lives Matter,” and DEI. Surprisingly, the term DEI, which stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion, has negative connotations today, although these are noble values that anyone with a soul should admire. This paper is an examination of what went wrong and how to fix the problem. Moreover, a biblical approach to DEI is discussed. Leaders need to understand the correct way to advocate for the ideals of diversity, equity, and inclusion in a way that brings people together and does not offend
Overcoming Cognitive Biases: The Key to Reducing Bigotry and Victimization
Get PDFPeople often act irrationally, and one example of this is bigotry. For instance, the statement that “obese people are all lazy and have no willpower” is not supported by facts but by prejudice. We should aim to eradicate all kinds of bias, which are harmful and rooted in irrationality. It is not enough to focus on one type of discrimination and neglect others. The authors posit that cognitive bias is one possible cause of nonsensical beliefs, including prejudice. People who use logic better understand the foolishness of any form of bias. This paper discusses the main cognitive biases that might lead to bigotry and the ways to overcome them
