Course Highlight: Ethics in the Modern World

“You shouldn’t do that!” “Why?” “Well, because it’s wrong!”

You engage in ethics every day in conversations like these! Ethics is about what is right or wrong, good or bad, and the values that should or shouldn’t guide how we live. Are these values pleasure, friendship, happiness, achievement, knowledge, justice, or something else? Are all of these important? Are some more important than others? Does it depend on the
situation? Ethics can be found all over the modern world in art, sports, films, social media, government, education, healthcare, etc. In all of these places, there are questions about what is right or wrong, good or bad, and what values should matter.

This course explores the ethical issues and values within all of these topics. In this course, students will learn various ethical theories and discuss their applications to these topics.

The aim of this course is to develop students’ understanding of ethics, and to engage them in philosophical reflection and argumentation so that they can develop their own thoughts on what values they think should guide how they live as well as thoughtful positions on ethical issues in the modern world.
