Four Reasons to Enroll in Ethics,
Philosophy 106 :
1. This class presents conflicting views on some of the most difficult questions that confront us as human beings. Questions addressed in ethics range from what is justice to what constitutes a meaningful human life.
2. This class is characterized by very lively debate. We guarantee that it will not be boring.
3. This class fullfills the humanities general education requirement.
4. You can complete Oakton's Peace and Social Justice concentration by taking six designated classes, and Ethics is one of the required classes for this concentration. When you complete this concentration, it will be recognized on your transcript.
