Ethics
|
PURPOSE: Ethics concerns how people ought to live. It therefore has a practical purpose. It approaches issues from a normative point of view and is thus concerned with what it means to live a good life and how we should treat others. In dealing with such matters, ethics examines justifications for normative claims and the theories that structure them. Adopting an ethical perspective is an indispensable part of participation in and leadership of any community. STUDENT OUTCOMES: Students will be able to think and write critically about classic and contemporary moral problems; moral concepts such as right/wrong conduct and good/bad character; and ideals such as justice, happiness, dignity, rights, and equality. They will be prepared with the conceptual resources for making moral decisions in their personal and professional lives. Because cognitive and emotional maturity contributes to the success of this outcome, students should normally have at least sophomore status before taking this course. COURSE: One course in ethics from the approved offerings, preferably after 44 quarter units. BUSINESS students must take either Management 6 or Philosophy 6. ENGINEERING and ARTS AND SCIENCES students may choose from the following courses. Engineering 19 Ethics in Technology Management 6 Business Ethics Philosophy 2 Introduction to Ethics Psychology 114 Ethics in Psychology Religious Studies TESP 157 Ethical Issues in the Health Professions The quarterly Schedule of Classes provides a comprehensive list of those courses offered in a particular quarter that meet this requirement. |
