Dr. Wigand displayed moral intelligence by demonstrating empathy for others while still being courageous to bring awareness to an unethical situation. A person with moral intelligence must manage an ethical problem through self-sacrifice, which shows a commitment to improving circumstances for an individual or group (Hadian Shirazi & Sabetsarvestani, 2021). A person’s ability to whistle blow to bring change does take strength and a commitment to ethical principles. Since not all are willing to take the risk to take a stance against unethical actions, do you think ethical characteristics can evolve over time?
