Throughout this course we have been analyzing ethical dilemmas related to the field of Organizational/Industrial Psychology. We have studied the different types of ethics related to these dilemmas; personal, group, organizational and societal, and explored many of the trending issues as described by the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP).

For this final assignment, you will be analyzing the Gulf Oil spill that happened in 2010 year. This case study ties in the material we have learned in previous sections through the individual ethics lessons, group (leadership/followership) ethics, and now, organizational ethics.
