How do we define what is “right” and what is “wrong” or what is “good” and what is “bad” when we make choices? How do we navigate conflicts in value systems when we see the world differently from others? As individuals, how do we evaluate social justice issues? To answer these questions, students will examine a variety of ethical and philosophical lenses including moral relativism, religion, virtue ethics, social contract theory, utilitarianism, deontology, and feminism. By examining how ethical principles can be applied to ethical dilemmas across various contexts and cultures, students will acquire a sound understanding of ethical decision making.
