Good Work
Read the insightsIs it possible to maintain a professional career while adhering to one’s own moral and ethical standards? Are we able to accomplish “good work” without it being clouded by market pressures? Gardner, Csikszentmihalyi, and Damon are a group of psychologists who set out to answer these questions and many more by interviewing over a hundred leading geneticists and journalists striving to achieve their career and personal goals while staying true to their values and ethics. Good Work illustrates the results of a parallel study into the fields of genetics and journalism. While these two fields are seemingly unrelated, both practicing journalists and geneticists face ethical dilemmas in their professions. But how they behave and react to moral challenges determine if they can accomplish “good work.”
