The Lifeboat Game:

The lifeboat has 10 people but can only hold 6. Who would you throw overboard?

Set up: put in groups where they make decisions and then a final discussion

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Here is a "game" I use to start my Business Ethics course at Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis.

An ocean liner has hit an iceberg. A small lifeboat has launched and is now on its own. It is uncertain when help will come, or how far away land is.

The lifeboat has 10 people in it, but can only hold six.

You have 15 minutes to decide which four passengers to throw overboard. If you fail, the boat swamps, and all 10 passengers drown.

Whom do you throw overboard? Be prepared to explain and defend your selections.

Annie is a 51-year-old divorcee with two children, one autistic. She heads R&D for a pharma start-up with a potential breakthrough drug. She attends church and volunteers at a soup kitchen. She has badly sprained her wrist

Billy is an MBA student engaged to a medical resident. He wants to work in venture philanthropy in Africa with his doctor-spouse after graduation. Billy has diabetes; in his pocket, he has a five-day supply of insulin

Charles is a 70-year old physician Board certified in Emergency Medicine. A bachelor, he competes in sailing races and has expertise in open-boat navigation. This cruise was on his bucket list because, though robust now, he suffers from lymphoma and has no more than 3-4 months to live

Delia is a 12-year-old girl. She is in shock, as her parents and younger brother have just drowned. Having swum to the lifeboat, she is beginning to shiver from the cold; Dr. Charles says she is at risk for hypothermia

Ercole, is a 35-year-old opera singer with millions of adoring fans. Twice divorced and previously convicted of mail fraud and drunk driving, he reputedly left a friend to die on the sidewalk outside a club where they were snorting cocaine. Ercole is very fit, and his singing greatly cheers the others

Francine is a 23-year-old ensign. She was supposed to be monitoring the ship's radar for icebergs but was instead watching a Game of Thrones re-run on her iPad. She supports a widowed mother ashore whose prescription drugs are not covered by insurance and also finances her disabled younger sister's therapy. She is a fair navigator and rows well

Godfrey is a six-year-old boy. He is the seventh of eight children. He was traveling with a grandparent (now drowned) and is inconsolable. He has tried to bite several passengers. Dr. Charlie warns that a bite in open-boat conditions can quickly go septic

Holly, 65, owns a successful mail-order party-goods business now run by her four children. A grandmother of 10, over the last five years, she has traveled the world with her spouse of 43 years. They contribute to a number of charities. She bails well but tires quickly. She is the only passenger who can somewhat quiet Godfrey

Ignatius is a married father of three young children. He secured his current spot on the lifeboat by asking his 20-year-old lover to fetch from the cabin the keys to the BMW 5-Series he told the lover was a surprise gift. Neither the car nor the keys exist. Ignatius captained his college rowing team. He has begged G-d to forgive his past sins and now claims that he is a changed man

Julia is a 41-year old private-equity investor famous for stripping companies of valuable assets, firing the employees, and selling the bones. She is being sued by her partners for fraud and by her children for plundering the trust fund their father left them. Julia has sworn, if she is not thrown overboard, to donate $1 billion to charities selected by the other survivors and to give $10 million to the family of each person who goes overboard. Julia is a triathlete

Guess the Audience: students will have a topic they'd have to present to a specific audience. Everyone will have to guess who their audience is based on the way they communicate. Put people into breakout rooms to give a topic and an audience.

I got this idea from these Youtubers who came up with commercials for artists. Members can do a presentation:

show pictures of the location, celebrity, and brand

Include the background of the celebrity (who they are, their songs or movies) that's important to understanding the commercial

Explaining the commercial
