Publisher's Synopsis

This well-organized guide covers the theories and mechanics of moral reasoning, ethical and unethical behavior in sport, and the development of moral education through sport. A practical, case-based approach to sport-related dilemmas teaches readers how to successfully apply moral reasoning skills in good decision making. Readers will also explore strategies to improve the overall moral integrity of sport without diminishing its competitive element.

Helpful Learning Features :
  • Mini case studies , with open-ended questions, hone skills for making good moral decisions
  • Lighthearted cartoons reinforce learned moral concepts and develop decision-making skills
  • Ethical terms , found in text boxes in each chapter, keep the reader on track with key terms and their definitions
  • Decision-making models form the foundation to solving ethical dilemmas
  • Case studies at the end of each chapter explore several sport issues and underscore presented reasoning models

A searchable online version of the text enables readers to quickly locate specific topics. Resources for faculty members are also available on our companion Website.
