Institution:

Albright College

Subject:

Description:

This course gives students a concise background in ethical reasoning and ethical theories and applies these theories to specific moral issues in business, using current cases and practices. The following general considerations will guide the class: What is the relationship between property and one's ethical rights and responsibilities? What is the relationship between the most profitable and the moral? What is the social purpose and justification for business, if any? We will approach these questions by looking at current issues, including the role of the free market, business liability and consumer protection, business and the environment, and ethical considerations in employee relations. The course is a combination of lecture and discussion, with an active emphasis on critical thinking and analytical writing.
