How do good people make tough choices? In this course we will study ethical theorists, ethical behavior and moral decision-making in order to understand how we   deal thoughtfully with the ethical challenges we face every day with our family, friends and our community. What makes a decision ethical? And not just a matter of personal choice? Is there anything we can do to get our society to be more ethical? To live such virtues as honest, respect, fairness and compassion …in order enable them to take the needs of others into account when making moral decisions. Case studies and moral dilemmas will be used in the class to guide our discussion.
