Abstract

As economies in the MENA region have become increasingly global and dependent on foreign labour, higher education institutions have a responsibility to effectively incorporate ethics education. This article presents a new interdisciplinary, case study-based model for teaching ethics in higher education (ICE model). It is comprised of five components including: 1) a discussion to identify the ethical dilemma involved; 2) an examination of the consequences of an action on self and others; 3) an examination of how the environment may affect moral reasoning; 4) a discussion of how and why decision-making may change when certain details or circumstances in the dilemma are changed; 5) a summary of one's final decision with its justification.
