Option 2: What you See, Hear, and Feel as you watch the film? “Free agency” of corporate CEOs – individuals such as scholar Noam Chomsky remind us that we must differentiate between the institution and the individual. Is there a problem when a “nice” person is involved in a company that engages in some unethical practices? What responsibilities do people have to call attention to or try to stop global and local workplace practices that they view as unethical. How can developing diversity consciousness positively impact the situation(s) you have identified and reduce/ eliminate the costs of inadequate diversity consciousness?

Option 3: What did you See, Hear, and Feel as you watch the film? Filmmaker Michael Moore felt that corporations and their CEOs are “out of touch” with what the majority want, because the majority of citizens are women and the working poor. Does it matter whether or not CEOs know who the “majority” are and what they want? Include a discussion of global dynamics associated with this “not knowing” and perhaps not wanting to know? How can developing diversity consciousness positively impact the situation(s) you have identified and reduce/ eliminate the costs of inadequate diversity consciousness?
