Spring 2013 Ethics Suggested Projects and Topics

Suggested Projects and Topics

I'll add project and topic ideas to this list as we proceed. Here are some general topics:

1. Most of our course readings can be pursued in greater depth for research papers or critical analysis papers.
2. You might want to research cultural moral differences between the US and Europe or between the US and Italy. Italians, for example, have distinctive social values and political values. These are all good areas of inquiry for ethics.
3. Dan Ariely's article on cheating report research from the field of "behavioral economics". Looking into this field and other research results of Ariely's and others. Check out Ariely on TED.
