Description

Constant changes in both the global environment in the 21st Century and the expectations placed upon the military combine to make new and increasingly complex ethical demands upon officers of the Australian Defence Force. This course introduces students to ethical theory and debate with reference to various issues they will face as future officers in the military and as citizens of Australia. Topics to be discussed in the course will be selected be the studies and may include discussion of topics such as cloning, euthanasia, the environment, global poverty, terrorism, capital punishment, privacy and ethical issues for the military.
