Write a short paper including two of the following questions:
If similar explosions had occurred at a nuclear power plant in another country, do you think the workers there would have stayed on the job? Why or why not?
- Can you think of other examples of where people risked their lives out of a sense of duty? What explains their actions?
- In addition to duty, what other ethical principles appeared to motivate the Fukushima 50, those who joined their efforts, and other Japanese citizens?
- How should Japan and the world honor those who stayed to save the plant?
- What leadership and followership ethics lessons do you take from this case?
