This is an honest, tough and practical book in which real people recount their
real predicaments concerning poverty, sex, bribes, school fees, forced marriage,
healers and traditional rites. Ethics is about what is good and bad. An ethical
dilemma, however, is not a decision between good and bad but between bad
solutions. The question then is which solution is the “least unethical”. This book
presents 50 real-life cases in the contexts of scholarly, private, professional and
public life. The cases in this book have been shared for teachers, students and
professional practitioners, to be used in teaching and training or individual
study, to test personal intuitions and encourage reflection on ethical decisions
