The major objective for this structure is to recognize that most often there is no "correct" or "singular" way to deal with ethical problems we can expect to encounter. The seminar structure fosters shared alternative opinions and differential thinking as to how each of us might approach any particular ethical problem can be fully explored and experienced by every member of the class.

...Ethics and Human Values Materials for This Course Available in the Bookstore J. S. Mill Utilitarianism (Hackett) Immanuel Kant Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals (Hackett) Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics (Chicago) These are all relatively inexpensive paperbacks. So acquire them immediately. There will also be a few brief handouts. Course Description The subject of ethics is the pursuit of the good. For animals, the good is given in instinct; however, with the advent of reason we have the capacity of the human being to choose that which is not given by nature. This means that it is unclear that our immediate impulses guide us correctly; there must be a standard to be argued for, since the immediately given is not satisfactory. It is in ethical reality that the degree of difference of intelligence between man and the animals is perhaps equivalent to a difference in kind. Because of this, the human good, as opposed to the natural good, is inherently questionable. In this class, we will be looking at how it is that philosophers have concerned themselves with this question. We will look at 3 of major different ways in which the question the ultimate ethical principle has been understood; the utilitarian, the “deontological” and the “eudaimonistic”, by considering a few of the primary texts that deal with these. Requirements, Expectations, Grading You are expected to attend and attentively participate in every class period. The grade...

...Essay #1: Attitude, skills and knowledge differentiate people. Elaborate with two examples on how you would differentiate yourself from other applicants to the PGP. (300 words max) “Abhinav is the role model of dedication and sincerity”, said my Project Manager during my farewell at Wipro. I have a very strong work ethic – deadlines, promises and targets hold great meaning for me. Starting off my career as a technical consultant for client Bacardi, I quickly ramped up and started handling complex deliverables. A month before the project completion, I had a road accident, injuring my right hand and foot badly. Since the project was running on tight deadlines, I was concerned that my absence would burden my colleagues. So, though I could barely move my hand and foot, I resumed work within 2 days. Seeing my condition, my managers asked me to take leave. Yet, because I knew the team needed me, I continued to work so that we could deliver the project on time. Over the next few weeks, I even supported the team on weekends, and together, we successfully met the deadline. The feeling of satisfaction this gave me is indescribable. The other attribute that differentiates me is self-discipline. I consider fitness an important part of my life. Till last year, I had a BMI of 26.8 and weighed 86kgs. Knowing that this could affect my health badly, I started a regular intensive workout regime. In 6 weeks, I reduced 16kilos, and started feeling fitter! Since then, I workout religiously and...

...Personal responsibility essay Josh Beaver GEN/200 FOUNDATIONS FOR GENERAL EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS 10-19-2013 Jackie Jenkins Personal Achievement Many people do not understand what personal responsibility truly is. From my experience in the military it was a matter of life and death. For a Marine combat squad to be successful in combat, each individual must be trusted to be able to perform his or her duty. Luckily, earning a college degree isn’t quite life or death, however it is still very important. Being successful in school means implementing some of the same techniques taught in the Marines. These qualities, such as personal responsibility, accountability, morality, time management, and self discipline are skills necessary to succeed in life. Personal responsibility is being able to hold yourself accountable for your own actions in life. The ability to take an organized, disciplined approach to a task utilizing skills such as maintaining your morality, personal accountability and organization is pivotal for success with anything you put your mind to in life including college. Personal responsibility is the ability to hold ones self-accountable for their own decisions. The keys to college success are much the same for personal and career endeavors. Having a strong sense of accountability will ultimately be one of the most important skills required to reach maximum success. There will be difficult times in the...
