Grit | The Ethics of Recovery: What Happens After an Industrial Disaster?

Industrial accidents are a fact of life in the modern world. Oil spills, chemical explosions, leaks of  toxic waste, and other disasters can devastate individual lives and communities for generations. The lesson uses an Indonesian drilling explosion, documented in the film Grit, to explore what ethical and equitable recovery from such disasters might look like. Students will use role play and group discussion to explore how stakeholders can increase understanding and come to consensus about steps required to make everyone whole. The lesson can be adapted to focus on business ethics, safe science and engineering practices, government regulations and responsibility, civic engagement, or all of these.
