PHIL 124 - Ethics and the Profit Motive

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Philosophy

Description:

This class will introduce students to the wide range of questions and problems that are encountered in the business world. The goal for this class will be less about answers and more about awareness. Contrary to what is sometimes a popular belief, there are rarely any easy solutions to ethical problems in the real world. What's important instead is that students are aware of what's at stake. Consequently, this class will explore the many conflicts that can arise between the pursuit of profit and the quest for various other sources of value and meaning in the world. Students will be asked to think critically, openly, and in an informed way about possible solutions to these conflicts. (WCore: WCFAH)
