ET Ethics

ET100 Ethics (Core Unit)
In the moral traditions of both East and West, ethics is concerned with three interrelated things: what we value as 'Good' or 'Bad'; what we regard as 'virtuous' or 'vicious' behaviour, or character; and what we define by rule as 'Right' or 'Wrong' to protect ourselves and society from harm and to promote the health and well-being of the community. The unit introduces you to the themes and methods of Ethics as an academic discipline; but the emphasis in the unit is on practical skills in sound ethical decision-making and critical examination of current moral issues.
