ONLINE DIPLOMA IN COMPARATIVE AND APPLIED ETHICS
Rationale for the Course: Ethics is a fundamentally important aspect of personal and social life. Human beings are endowed with the ability to make practical judgements and decisions concerning realities which transcend the natural or factual order of existence. Such decisions are based on various factors such as inclination, education, insight, convention, influence, conviction and argumentation. The academic field of ethics has traditionally been hosted by the larger discipline of Philosophy, especially in higher educational institutions. However, ethics—especially applied ethics—has gained prominence in various professional fields such as health care, business, law, scientific research and public policy. The course is designed to facilitate knowledge in both theoretical and practical aspect of ethics.
