Much has been written on moral courage, especially in the last few years. Participants are introduced to the concept of Ethical Courage which is the willingness to take ethical action despite doubts, the risk of fear, or adverse consequence. Ethical Courage requires careful deliberation, assessment of multiple variables, self-regulation, choosing an ethical response, taking action, and evaluating the outcome.
