This anthology encourages a critical examination of contemporary moral problems by presenting differing viewpoints on issues such as: the death penalty; euthanasia; hate speech and censorship; world hunger and global justice; and the environment.
In its seventh edition, Social Ethics: Morality and Social Policy continues to provide material that will encourage reflective and critical examination of key contemporary moral problems. With additional readings and a new organization that groups related chapters together under four categories, this edition enhances the teachability that was the most salient characteristic of previous editions. The text maintains its ability to bring the central issues into clear focus, while allowing supporting arguments for widely diverse positions to be presented by those who embrace them.
