Ethics and Etiquette is a thought-provoking dialogue about everyday dilemmas. Join this weekly scenario-driven conversation as we examine several ethical predicaments, break down the behaviors and rationalizations, and offer practical suggestions to sort them out. Our insights and perspectives will encourage you to scrutinize the sticky situations in your life and exercise your own ethical muscles. Ethics and Etiquette is presented by writer Marna Ashburn; wife, mother, and attorney Kelly Halligan Zimmerman; and Mike Derrick, a retired Army officer and combat vet.
