Introduction to Ethical Thinking Frameworks – Sydney Course

Do you ever wonder how other people make decisions? Are you often puzzled when you hear different opinions on what is “right”?

This Introduction to Ethical Thinking Frameworks Workshop will teach you the basic principles behind traditional ethical perspectives and traditional approaches to ethics such as ethical egoism, deontology, utilititarianism, moral relativism and virtue ethics. You will understand how to balance those perspectives in a manner that aligns with your personal values.

The workshop will also use practical examples, illustrations and promote sharing of ideas within the class. Each student will gain a greater understanding of ethical frameworks and a greater understanding of their personal approach to ethical challenges.
