COURSE DESCRIPTION
Ethics deals with principles of ethical behavior in modern society at the level of the person,
society and in interaction with environmental and other shared resources.
Morality pertains to the standards of the right and wrong that an individual originally picks up
from the community. The course discusses the context and principles of ethical behavior in modern
society at the level of individual, society, and in interaction with the environment and other shared
resources. The course also teaches students to make moral decisions by using dominant moral
frameworks and by applying a seven-step moral reasoning model to analyze and solve moral
dilemmas.
The course is organized according to the three main elements of the moral experience: (a)
agent, including context – cultural, communal, and environmental; (b) the act, and (c) reason or
framework (for the act).
