The paper briefly describes the causes of a global rise in obesity and diabetes. In so doing, it establishes links between (1) poverty and obesity, and (2) obesity and diabetes. The paper also presents data from a survey (N=147) conducted in a depressed economy in Texas where cases of obesity and diabetes are among the highest in the US. The paper argues for a paradigm shift in viewing the role of policymakers in regards to food and pharmaceutical industries, both locally and globally.

Several cases have surfaced in the past two decades where the photojournalists associated with some of the most respected and trusted news organizations have been accused of altering the news photos. During the same time, the developments in the digital cameras and editing software have put the image altering technology into the hands of all practicing journalists and journalism students. This paper explores two, somewhat connected, issues: objectivity in photojournalism and ethics of altering photographic images. The paper discusses objectivity in journalism in general and photojournalism to address the question: Can a photojournalist use a camera to record reality in an objective manner? Since the photographers have altered (retouched) images from the very beginning of photography, where are the ethical boundaries of image alteration for the photojournalists?

We find ourselves in times where national leaders engage in fraudulent and deceptive behaviors for personal and political gains, and multinational corporations use unethical practices to maximize their profits. Where dangerously defective products are released onto the market endangering the health and lives of consumers, and where news channels become opinion channels. Where the motto of the free market is reduced to a simple‘grab all you can, any way you can.’ In times such as these, it is difficult to teach and promote ethical behavior. A cursory look at the advertising messages and the spins put on issues by public relations people leaves one wondering if business ethics is anything more than an oxymoron – a self‑contradicting claim. In times such as ours (in 2017), it is crucial that institutions of higher learning continue to teach and foster ethical behavior and ethical responsibility. No doubt, it is an uphill struggle for educators to convince students to think and act in ethically appropriate terms when surrounded by corruption, deceit, and fraud. While no one will deny the need for ethical practices, teaching these values in a convincing manner remains a challenge. Using meta‑analysis of various University courses in ethics, the present paper attempts three goals. First, it builds a rationale for the importance of ethical behavior, the need for teaching it, and the criticisms of those who think it unnecessary to teach ethics. Second, it discusses various strategies used by universities and several educators in teaching and reinforcing ethical behavior. This section also offers a criticism of approaches and methodologies of teaching ethics. Third, it offers an outline for a syllabus for an introductory course in Ethics.

Studenci kierunków ekonomicznych są częstokroć przedstawiani jako mniej skłonni do współdziałania niż studenci innych kierunków. Zwykle metodą badawczą wykorzystywaną by potwierdzić istnienie tej różnicy stanowi przeprowadzanie eksperymentów laboratoryjnych, podczas których studenci uczestniczą w tzw. „grach w zaufanie”. Jednak analiza tego rodzaju gier stanowi komponent kursów z zakresu mikroekonomii. Z tego względu wysuwanie wniosków na temat faktycznego zachowania studentów na podstawie decyzji podejmowanych przez nich w trakcie tego rodzaju eksperymentów budzi poważne wątpliwości. Artykuł stanowi wkład w dyskusję na temat podejścia studentów kierunków ekonomicznych do współpracy. Podstawą do formułowania wniosków są wyniki ankiety przeprowadzonej wśród studentów ekonomii na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim (N=129). W odróżnieniu od prowadzonych dotychczas badań koncentrujących się wokół hipotez o preselekcji i indoktrynacji, przedmiotem analizy jest również hipoteza kulturowa. By przyczynić się do wyjaśnienia wpływu kultury na skłonność studentów do współpracy, respondenci rekrutowani byli spośród mieszkańców dwu państw - Chin i Polski - krajów istotnie różniących się pod względem wartości kolektywistycznych/indywidualistycznych. Zgromadzony materiał empiryczny potwierdza hipotezę kulturową, nie daje zaś podstaw do potwierdzenia hipotezy o indoktrynacji. Co więcej, wartości Indeksu Kooperacji, wskaźnika stworzonego dla wyrażenia postaw respondentów wobec współpracy, potwierdzają większą skłonność kobiet do współpracy. Wziąwszy pod uwagę to, że zdolność do pracy w zespole jest obecnie postrzegana jako jedna z kluczowych kompetencji poszukiwanych przez pracodawców (NACE Job Outlook 2016), uzyskane wyniki uzasadniają potrzebę traktowania szkoleń z pracy zespołowej jako integralnej części programów realizowanych na studiach ekonomicznych.

Students of economics are often presented as less cooperative than students of other disciplines. A method commonly used to establish this difference is based on laboratory experiments where students participate in trust games. However, these games are analysed as part of microeconomics courses. Hence, drawing conclusions about how students of economics behave while playing these games may not indicate their actual behaviour. This paper contributes to the discussion on economics students’ attitudes towards cooperation by presenting the results of a survey conducted among undergraduate students of economics at the University of Lodz in central Poland (N=129). Besides the indoctrination and preselection hypotheses, a culture hypothesis was also examined. To analyse the significance of culture on students’ cooperativeness, we recruited respondents from two countries, China and Poland, representing two different cultures of collectivism vs. individualism. Our findings lend support to the culture hypothesis, while we failed to find evidence for the indoctrination hypothesis. Moreover, the values of the Cooperation Index, an indicator coined to express respondents’ attitude towards cooperation, confirm that females are more ready to cooperate than males. Since an ability to work in a team is regarded as the most valuable skill by employers (NACE Job Outlook 2016), our findings suggest treating training in teamwork as an integral part of economics curricula.
