This course explores the academic study of Ethics which includes both theory and practice, the concepts of which have been historically fostered by major theorists who employ philosophical design to form ethical principles for application. As students will examine ethical theories, moral concepts, judgments and reasoning, meta-ethics (value theory, skepticism, naturalistic fallacy, etc.) and basic ethical concepts, they will learn a variety of movements, scholars and systems of ethical understanding. In addition, the course deals with the practical applications of ethics, including those within the realms of corporate and business, social, personal, environmental, medical and professional issues. The objective of this course is to guide students through the process of applying ethical theories, concepts, knowledge and skill to a variety of real-life, practical situations, events and scenarios.
