Ethics and Society / Applied Ethics

Ethical issues are taking on a greater importance in all areas of life. Think, for example, of the questions raised by medical advances that challenge our concepts of life and death, or the privacy issues created by the growing use of the Internet. These multidisciplinary programs in ethics are both theoretical and applied. You reflect on fundamental issues in moral and political philosophy and come to understand the nature of ethics issues in health care, business, law, communication, criminology, social work, public affairs and other areas.
