Ethics is a Humanities course in the CTY program with no prerequisites. Its course code is ETHC, and it is offered at Baltimore, Carlisle, and Los Angeles, and was also offered at Loudonville.
Course Description
Ethics is an introduction to the philosophy of morality and of living a good life. The course often begins with virtue ethics and the works of Aristotle. It then proceeds to cover ethical egoism, utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, virtue ethics, and a smattering of the rest.
Class History
Kant has spawned many inside jokes, from the writing of WWKD? (What Would Kant Do?) on one's hand in Sharpie and the Kant Kult. The Kant Kult will never die. Ever.
...Ever.
Staff have included Ben Chan and Super Q (Dr. Q, Quayshawn).
At LMU in 07 and 08 both sessions, Ethics was taught by Zoe and TAed by Chris/Ashley Green. During 08.1 the class became somewhat infamous for answering the question "What's your class about?" with "Burning puppies." (Partially true.) Zoe was very determined on making the class interesting for all and thus many posters were made, not to mention debates almost every day. Ethics is known for many, many amazing quotes- i.e. "Did you just compares a fetus to a rock?" At LMU the class also known for completely pwning Logic in the debate.
