Ethics in Modern Life

In this interactive discussion class, we'll explore one or two different real-world ethical issues each week. Questions will include: should billionaires exist? Does their huge wealth indicate something unjust and unethical about how our society is structured, or not? Should the Audubon Society, streets, schools and other institutions change their names because they are named after people who owned slaves? Did the West Point Military Academy handle a recent cheating scandal ethically? Come join the conversation!

Structural Issues in the U.S. Government

We'll put several issues related to our democratic framework under the microscope in this interactive online discussion class. The House of Representatives is supposed to be representative by population, but is it? Should there be mandatory retirement ages for senators, congress people and presidents, or would that be unethical age discrimination? Should voting be mandatory?
