National High School Ethics Bowl

National High School Ethics Bowl The National High School Ethics Bowl (NHSEB) promotes respectful, supportive, and rigorous discussion of ethics among high school students nationwide.

The National High School Ethics Bowl is a competitive yet collaborative event in which students discuss real-life ethical issues. In each round of competition, teams take turns analyzing ethical cases and responding to questions and comments from the other team and a panel of judges. An ethics bowl differs from a debate competition in that students are not assigned opposing views; rather, they def

end whichever position they think is correct, provide each other with constructive criticism, and win by demonstrating that they have thought rigorously and systematically about the cases and engaged respectfully and supportively with all participants. Data from NHSEB surveys shows that this event teaches and promotes ethical awareness, critical thinking, civil discourse, civic engagement, and an appreciation for multiple points of view. The NHSEB's goal is to do more than teach students how to think through ethical issues: It is to teach students how to think through ethical issues together, as fellow citizens in a complex moral and political community. If you would like to start a High School Ethics Bowl team or Regional Bowl in your area, please contact us! We are indebted to the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, sponsor of the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl (IEB), and to the IEB's creator Dr. Robert Ladenson, for their example, inspiration, and assistance.
