Providing readers with a basic overview of the most important ethical theories in chapter one, each subsequent chapter takes a contemporary ethical issue as its focus. Guided by the authors' extensive introductions, and readings exhibiting divergent positions, and particularly timely cases, APPLYING ETHICS provides students with a model for considering critically many of the ethical dilemmas that abound in contemporary life.

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.
