Patron comment on 2013-02-11

Throughout school, academic integrity has been a huge focus. There would be dedicated sections in handouts, on syllabi, and posted on the school’s webpage detailing exactly what wasn’t allowed. However, after schooling is completed, there is not as clear of a line. Making Good presents research done in journalism, science, and acting to explain some common moral dilemmas young people begin to face in the workplace. It is interesting to explore unfamiliar fields, but the book does not really offer concrete coping strategies for an emerging professional. This book is for anyone who enjoys reading about people trying to succeed in their career while following their own moral compass.
