Ethics: Moral Issues in Society Honors

Catalog description

This honors course, intended for students in the Honors Transfer Program, is an introduction into the nature of ethics and to the question as to what ethical system, if any determines right and wrong. This course will not only examine certain traditional approaches to ethical questions, but will investigate the possible application of these approaches to current ethical conflicts. An analysis of moral issues, such as violence, sex, war, abortion, capital punishment, privacy, oppression, pornography, and euthanasia will be emphasized. The honors course provides more content and requires greater intensity and depth of study than the non-honors class. (UC, CSU, AVC) Note: Students may take either PHIL105 Ethics: Moral Issues in Society or PHIL105H Ethics: Moral Issues in Society Honors. Duplicate credit will not be awarded.
