Ethics
We all make moral judgements every day. Today you might have decided not to push into a queue because it would be unfair. You might think that murder is wrong but that it is still not permissible for the state to take an innocent life in retribution. You might have been appalled at an item on the radio, exclaiming that large international companies should not use loopholes to avoid paying taxes. Ethics explores these moral judgements. You will explore the nature of moral judgements. What am I doing when I say that something is wrong? Am I merely expressing my own preferences or am I trying to report some external truth? You will also consider theories about how we should act. Is morality about bringing about the greatest happiness for everyone concerned? Is it wrong to lie even when doing so won’t have any bad consequences? -

Ethics at Work: Customers, Companies, and Cooperation
In our working lives, we engage in many, ethically-complex relationships—with employers, with colleagues and with clients and customers. This module will explore some of the distinctive ethical challenges that these relationships pose. For example, is the employer-employee relation inevitably exploitative? And is wage labour inevitably alienating? If not, when is working for a wage a fair exchange? And how is that question affected by broader questions of equal opportunity and equal reward? When is a business’ relation to its customers exploitative? For example, which ethical demands should shape how businesses advertise products and the prices they set? And are businesses simply there to facilitate their customers’ choices—however immoral they may be? When instead might an employee be obliged to make public confidential information they hold about their customers or indeed their employers—as recent cases of ‘whistleblowing’ illustrate. This module will explore some of these questions, which have widespread - global! - significance. -

Ethics in Science, Engineering and Technology: Jekyll and Hyde
Starting from the underlying themes in Jekyll and Hyde, wherein a scientific discovery can be seen as having both beneficial (Dr. Jekyll) and detrimental aspects (Mr. Hyde), this module delves into the general area of the ethics and social responsibility of scientific discovery in the present day.
The contextual setting of the Jekyll and Hyde story (which students will be expected to read) acts as a jumping-off point to examine a series of modern, topical case studies with issues that stubbornly refuse to go away. Delivery will take the form of lectures, seminars, and formal debates by students taking the module. -
