JRD Tata Foundation in Business Ethics, XLRI, Jamshedpur is organizing an All India Essay Writing Competition and is accepting submissions till July 20, 2024.
How do scams and scandals in our society reflect the need for ethics and integrity? How do scams and scandals affect the common people? What can we do about them? What are the ethical and moral demands on our society, given the increasing cases of scandals, scams, and corruption?
The larger framework of this competition is to explore the significance of ethics in society at large and in the business world in particular. So, you are requested to choose one specific topic which you are convinced of and argue for it. Do not remain at the general or descriptive level. Choose one particular area, find arguments for and against, and come to a reasoned and deliberate opinion.
