This course focuses on ethical issues, which affect our daily lives in personal, social, and political spheres. Issues covered will vary by instructor, but may include our duties to animals and the environment; consumerism and materialism; issues in bioethics such as abortion, euthanasia, human cloning and genetic engineering; 'victimless' crimes such as drugs, pornography and prostitution; poverty, both in the U.S. and abroad; war; free speech and other personal liberties; and various forms of discrimination and prejudice. This course also meets Lane Degree requirements that are fullfilled by the same course number without the _H.
