Can one create a great educational simulation around ethics?One should be able to in theory. One point of Sim is to make an experience that allows people to see the consequences of their Actions in a safe environment. If you made a pure "ethics" sim, however, then of course students would just always "do the right thing." It would be as useful as the official Enron Ethics Handbook.Rather, my own thinking goes, one would build a life sim, or a business sim. One ...
