## Resource

Radio Free 501c brought to you by Rogue Tulips Consulting and USAE News! Episode 319: The Ethics of Star Wars Host: Cecilia Sepp, CAE, ACNP, LPEC, Principal, Rogue Tulips Consulting Guest: Craig Polk, MSEE, MBA, Senior Program Manager, IEEE March is Ethics Awareness Month and we are pleased to welcome back Craig Polk, nonprofit management professional and Star Wars Expert. The Power of Storytelling helps humans share knowledge, lessons, and warnings -- one of the most powerful story series is Star Wars. We discuss the two sides of the Force: is there is a light side and a dark side? Or is it how you use it? Is the Rebellion against the Empire ethical? Or does it depend on who you ask? Was it ethical to take children from their homes to train them to be Jedi warriors? Ethics is a serious topic but we have fun talking about how a story can teach us to make better choices. What questions do you have about ethics? Share a comment! #podcast #roguetulips #usaenews #IEEE #ethics #ethicsawarenessmonth #starwars #consulting #association #nonprofit
