The Ethical Analyst

Catalog description

We raise awareness of ethically sensitive situations and provide principles and tools for forming coherent ethical judgments regarding individual, government, or organizational actions. Students learn ethical theories and tools from which they create their own personal ethical codes and test them against established ethical principles, class discussion, homework, class presentations, and situations from work and life. The course addresses personal life, human action and relations in society, technology, medicine, coercion, harming, stealing, imposition of risk, deception, and other ethical issues. The essays and deliverables relevant to the midterm and final presentations, required in 254, are not required in 254A. All other requirements are the same as in 254. Limited enrollment.
