(CMO 20 s 2013) Morality pertains to the standards of right and wrong that an individual originally picks up from the community. The course discusses the context and principles of ethical behavior in modern society at the level of individual, society, and in interaction with the environment and other shared resources. The course also teaches students to make moral decisions by using dominant moral frameworks and by applying a seven-step moral reasoning model to analyze and solve moral dilemmas. The course is organized according to the three (3) main elements of the moral experience: (a) agent, including context - cultural, communal, and environmental; (b) the act; and (c) reason or framework (for the act).
