Description:

Meets Transfer Goal Areas 6 & 9 - Ethical & Civic Responsibility & The Humanities. This course explores the philosophical conceptions of morality and value. It addresses questions such as: how do we make ethical decisions? Where does our sense of right and wrong come from? Do the values we hold apply only to us as individuals, to us as part of a culture, or do they apply to all humans in all places and at all times? Through an examination of major ethical theories, both contemporary and classical, this course reveals the relationship between ethical theory and ethical practice, particularly as it relates to contemporary issues such as the death penalty, poverty, gay marriage, and war.
