The Ethics ULR fosters development of the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to recognize, analyze, and resolve real-world ethical problems using diverse approaches to ethical decision making. Ethics ULR courses develop your capacities to recognize and responsibly address complex ethical challenges in personal, professional, and social life. You are asked to demonstrate conscious awareness of deeply held beliefs about what is important, right, wrong, good, and bad that affect how you relate to yourself and others in specific, real-world contexts. You are required to demonstrate the capacity to recognize and understand your own and others' approaches to ethical decision making and the ability to participate successfully and meaningfully in dialogues across these differences. These are critical skills that assist you in constructing, understanding, and living a conscious value system.
