Hauppauge High School’s Ethics Bowl Club won the coveted Robert Ladenson Spirit of the Ethics Bowl Award at the 8th Annual Long Island High School Ethics Bowl Competition that recently was held at Hofstra University. This prestigious honor was awarded to the team that displayed outstanding skill at listening to one another in an atmosphere of civility and mutual respect – allowing for passionate disagreement on principles, while nonetheless encouraging continued dialogue.
Students in the Ethics Bowl Club examine ethical case studies published annually by the Parr Center for Ethics at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. Teams from across the nation prepare the same cases, thereby allowing for a collegial and competitive atmosphere. The students work hard to prepare ethical arguments and also to implement philosophical theories into their dialogue in advance of the competition.
