Each time this course is offered it is dedicated to one specific area in applied ethics. Possible course topics include Medical Ethics, Legal Ethics, Business Ethics, Environmental Ethics, and Military Ethics. This course has a dual focus. It studies the relationship between human nature and the environment, and, if any, our socio-political ethical commitment to the environment.
Key issues pivot around the human's place in nature and our moral obligations to nature.
