The links here will provide you with everything you will need to prepare teams for the upcoming Ethics Olympiad. This information will be particularly useful to anyone new to the Ethics Olympiad. Coaches should feel free to pass this link on to their eth-letes (team members).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Ethics Olympiad has a proven track record of providing a creative vehicle for developing skills in communication, critical thinking and respectful discourse while dealing with important and interesting ethical issues.<\/p>\n<p>Universities have entered 5-10 students to participate in the Ethics Olympiad. At the Olympiad, we refer to team members as &#8220;Eth-letes&#8221; as like ath-letes they are in training for excellence but here in ethical reasoning. Unlike debating, students can take the position they want at an Ethics Olympiad. They work as a team, with teams from other universities to come up with the best possible answer to difficult ethical questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the day all they will be involved in a series of three heats where they will be scored according to set criteria that rewards, clear, concise, respectful discourse around interesting ethical cases. Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be awarded to the top three university teams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: rgba(110, 193, 228, 0.14); text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration-thickness: initial; color: #005177; outline: 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/ethicsolympiad.turbifysites.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO GO BACK TO THE MAIN ETHICS OLYMPIAD WEBSITE<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4172\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Background<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4172\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4172\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>This initiative builds on the very successful Ethics Bowls in the US. The National High School Ethics Bowl is coordinated by the Parr Centre for Ethics at the University of North Carolina.<\/p><p>An Ethics Olympiad is a competitive yet collaborative event in which students analyze and discuss real-life, and timely, ethical issues. \u00a0It differs from a debate in that students are not assigned opposing views; rather, they defend whatever position they believe is right and win by showing that they have thought more carefully, deeply, and perceptively about the cases in question. \u00a0<\/p><p>Experience shows that the event encourages and promotes ethical awareness, critical thinking skills, civil discourse, international engagement, and an appreciation for diverse points of view.<\/p><p>In the United States, tertiary institutions have run &#8220;Ethics Bowls&#8221; on a yearly basis since 1995. Each US state holds regional Ethics Bowls and this culminates in the National US Ethics Bowl.\u00a0<\/p><p>Well before the date of the Ethics Olympiad, the participating coaches are given a packet of case studies that<br \/>present ethical issues to study. The goal for the teams is not to do research on the cases, but to be able to formulate well structured, logical answers to a single question that is asked about the cases.<\/p><p>In 2013 a trial was held involving US schools and Australian schools using video conferencing technology and Skype to bring the schools communities together. The trial was a great success. Thereby the Ethics Olympiad was born and has been run since then annually with many schools involved.\u00a0<\/p><p>In 2020 we had to cancel all the Senior Ethics Olympiads due to the outbreak of Covid 19 but we ran online trials instead for member schools using Zoom and these were sufficiently successful that we decided to run the Middle School Olympiads online and in 2021 Senior and Junior School Ethics Olympiads were conducted online. This has proved to be a wonderful success with many regional and remote schools able to be involved and access to excellent judges throughout the world. Each year we run regional heats for Senior High School students followed by a final in July.<\/p><p>The Tertiary Ethics Olympiad commenced in 2021 and has been run annually since then. We use the same format however the cases are more appropriate for a tertiary context.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4173\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What is Ethics?<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4173\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4173\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>All hospitals and universities have &#8220;ethics&#8221; committees, many companies have an official \u201cethics\u201d code, and lawyers are required to take \u201cethics\u201d training. But when academic philosophers use the term \u201cethics\u201d they\u2019re talking about the reason-guided study of what we morally ought to do. That isn\u2019t to say that doctors, companies and lawyers don\u2019t use reason (they most certainly do), or don\u2019t make decisions about what we morally ought to do (they most certainly try). It just means that what makes philosophical ethics distinct is that the ultimate grounding for philosophers\u2019 conclusions is reason itself, as opposed to preferences, company policy, or legal precedent.<\/p><p>Philosophers use reason to form \u201carguments,\u201d which are composed of a series of claims, called premises, intended to logically support another claim, called the conclusion. They construct, share, evaluate and revise these arguments in a collective effort to figure out what makes the most sense. No conclusion is beyond revision, and any good philosopher is<br \/>willing to change his or her mind on most any issue, if given good enough reason to do so.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/ethicsolympiad.org\/2021MiddleSchoolEthicsOlympiads\/DeatonsEthicsinaNutshellMay2021EducatorEdition.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for a copy of Dr Matthew Deaton&#8217;s book written specifically\u00a0for students participating in the US Ethics Bowl.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4174\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Dates & Times<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4174\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4174\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div><div role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Toolbar\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><div><div><div><article><div><div data-elementor-type=\"wp-page\" data-elementor-id=\"252\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\"><div><section data-id=\"e37d05f\" data-element_type=\"section\"><div><div data-id=\"2036a8d\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div><div data-id=\"5e17dda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div><h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;

While the Ethics Olympiad is a team event and we encourage all team-members to play a role, there are no formal requirements for how speaking roles should be shared or allocated. Teams can benefit from being flexible and strategic in how they allocate and share these roles, catering to strengths and specializations. That said, anecdotally, judges report that having multiple perspectives from different speakers generally tends to enrich the presentations and makes the arguments presented more compelling.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">Team members are encouraged to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">read the cases carefully beforehand and\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">the linked\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">resources\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">to understand the full breadth of the cases, determine their positions,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">and\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">make the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">strongest possible presentation.<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">\u00a0Although teams may use outside\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">research to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">prepare for\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">a match, they should not assume that merely presenting\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">factual information\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">will impress\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #006599; font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">the judges.
