Begin by watching Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and then use your readings to answer the questions below.

1. In what ways were the financial analysts, investment bankers, U.S. financial institutions, the SEC, and Enron's accounting firm Arthur Anderson complicit in helping Enron cover up massive financial and accounting fraud? 

2. In what ways do you think Enron's corporate culture of "survival of the fittest" contribute to the unethical business practices by employees and executives alike? Provide examples. 

3. If you found yourself in a similar position to Sherron Watkins (the whistle-blower), what would you do?

4. What do you believe were the ultimate consequences to stakeholders and employees after bankruptcy?

5. The priest at the end of the film mentions "the pursuit of money can cause one to lose one's soul." How do you interpret this quote in the context of both the Enron scandal and your own personal beliefs around the pursuit of money?
