Contemporary Moral Issues

Catalog description

Fall, Spring, Summer. We will explore real-world moral challenges that we currently face as individuals and as a society. Do you have a right to privacy on the internet?

The primary focus of this course is to enrich our understanding of such questions by increasing our knowledge of both the relevant facts and the values at issue. Approved for distance education.
