Course Description:		Recent scandals in the news have led to a re-assessment of how ethics and the public trust are being considered in mass media. What are the limits of privacy? How are factual reporting errors and deliberate distortions combated? When and where are reporters and photojournalists tempted to cross ethical boundaries and damage individuals? What are their motivations? This course examines the pressures faced by mass media to achieve profitability. It also takes a look at societal forces that influence decisions made by journalists and their editors. Single ownership of newspaper chains and media outlets influences content and editorial decisions, as does the emergence of new, instant-access methods of dissemination. The impact of the phenomenon of independent journalism, in the form of weblogs and individually hosted Web sites and list servs, is assessed. Students will have an opportunity to examine case studies and even role-play as ethically challenged editors or journalists.

Footnote:		All courses are 15 weeks long with an average of 8-10 lessons. The type of media support varies. See course description.
Course Description:		This introductory fifteen-week, two-credit course is designed to prepare professionally-oriented students for more advanced studies in ethics in their respective field or profession. Through active learning centered on a semester-long group project, this course exposes students to some of the basic categories and frameworks that ethicists use, provides opportunities for considering practical contemporary ethical issues, and helps students learn to analyze and articulate ethical assumptions, theories, and decision-making processes. It aims more than anything to help students think and communicate about ethical problems in a well-reasoned and critical manner, and to prepare them for further studies of ethics. Students will learn to identify when and where ethical claims or assumptions are being made in texts and discussions, explicitly and implicitly. Students will learn to identify where ethical claims or ethical assumptions are supported (or not) by reasoned arguments, to supply their own reasoned arguments, and in many cases to provide a well-reasoned counter-argument to any given ethical argument. Finally, students will learn to describe in their own words examples of the kinds of questions that ethicists might ask, some of the fundamental issues that arise in ethical decision-making, and connections between ethics and other areas such as politics, culture, or civic engagement. This course fully meets the General Education requirement in Humanities.

Course Description:		This course is designed to help students become familiar with the study of ethics and formally investigate contemporary ethical problems (e.g., the taking of human life in various situations; honesty; sexual, medical, business and environmental ethics). The course is based on reading and discussion -- ethics is best approached as part of a community of thinkers. Students will interact around exercises and issues related to ethical problems. Students will also be expected to complete individual written work. The purpose of the course is to help students think clearly about ethical problems in their personal and professional lives. This course fully meets the general education requirement in Humanities. NOTE: Students should not take both the 4-credit and the 2-credit courses titled Introduction to Ethics as these overlap. Students who plan to take further studies of ethics beyond this one (e.g., Marketing Ethics) may want to consider taking the 2-credit Introduction to Ethics course instead of this one. This course fully meets the General Education requirement in Humanities.
