    ETHICS

    Course Description:
    Ethics deals with principles of ethical behavior in modern society at the
    level of the person, society, and in interaction with the environment and
    other shared resources. (CM() 20 s 2013)
    Morality pertains to the standards of right and wrong that an individual
    originally picks up from the community.
    The course discusses the context and principles of ethical behavior in
    modern society at the level of individual, society, and in interaction with
    the environment and other shared resources.
    The course also teaches students to make moral decisions by using
    dominant moral frameworks and by applying a seven-step moral
    reasoning model to analyze and solve moral dilemmas.
    The course is organized according to the three (3) main elements of the
    moral experience: (a) agent, including context — cultural, communal,
    and environmental; (b) the act; and (c) reason or framework (for the
    act).
