We will examine major ethical theories, as well as real-world ethical problems that you can encounter in your academic, professional, and personal lives. Examples include ethical challenges in medicine and other helping professions (privacy, informed consent, euthanasia), in research(plagiarism, fraud, conflict of interest), in the legal world (proportional punishment, death penalty), and at the societal level (responses to poverty and discrimination).
