Description

A core text for courses in Freshman Orientation, College Ethics and Critical Thinking; a supplementary text for courses in Introduction to Ethics, and Expository Writing.

Using a highly effective case approach, this uniquely hands-on text presents specific, reality-based examples of the complex and controversial ethical issues that students face on college campuses today—e.g., plagiarism, racism and hate speech, date rape, alcohol abuse. Then, through thought-provoking questions and critical discussions, prods students to explore their own positions and opinions to justify their stances. It shows them how five important ethical principles can be used to think through these problems and to solve them in ethical dialogues.
