Book for my Ethics class.

Selected materials for my Ethics class Fall Semester 2018. The articles and case studies were the most interesting part of the book. I learned some new things on the subjects we focused on.

After the beginning section of each chapter is read and you get to the individual points of view, it becomes extremely boring and not worth the read unless the excerpt is from an author you want to read.
