Introduction
Moral problems arise in all areas of life: personal, professional, and political. For example, do you, as a citizen, have a moral responsibility to vote? What obligations do you have, if any, to global environmental issues? Should you buy from a company that underpays its workers?
To help you make wise decisions about moral and ethical issues in the workplace and the community, UFV offers a minor in Applied Ethical and Political Philosophy as part of the Bachelor of Arts program.
Analyze real-world ethical issues and find out how to build useful guidelines for ethical procedures. Learn to see larger issues and their implications. And develop the problem-solving, writing, and investigative skills that are valued by employers everywhere.
UFV’s minor in Applied Ethics and Political Philosophy sharpens your capacity for creative and critical thinking by providing you with an in-depth understanding of the ideas and theories underpinning society’s political institutions. Studying applied ethics also gives you the opportunity to articulate your own values and identify the values motivating others.
