Each year, the Hoffberger Center invites Baltimore area high schools for
a day of fun, food, and competetion in our Ethics Bowl. The students
must work together in their teams to identify the ethical issue,
disregard irrelevant issues, choose a position, and defend that
position. Each team spends hours in preparation and practice leading up
to the competition. In our last Ethics Bowl, the students examined
issues related to "sexting" (picture messages), facebook invasion of
privacy, and using enhancement drugs. The students did well in parching
out the issues and developing ethical standards in these cases.
