PH 103 CONTEMPORARY MORAL PROBLEMS
This course will focus on issues that arise in contemporary public debate concerning matters of applied ethics and social justice. Topics will likely include euthanasia, gay marriage, immigration, racism and racial profiling, gender politics, free speech, hunger, and global inequality. Students will be exposed to multiple points of view on the topics and will analyze the moral frameworks informing opposing positions. The goal will be to provide the basis for respectful and informed discussion of matters of common moral concern. The format and topics of the courses will vary relative to existing ethical concerns. One section may focus extensively on issues on medical ethics, another on the morality of war, and another on an entirely different contemporary philosophical issue. 3 Credits
