GCVM1013 Applied Ethics in Science and Technology
应用伦理学（理工科技类）
This course begins with a brief introduction to ethical theories and principles focusing on some of the issues that are at once universal and timeless. Through discussion, debates, and studying particular cases (from personal stories, newspapers, magazines and films etc.), it is hoped that students will be able to reflect critically on real life issues and make their own decisions. Ethical issues in selected fields according to the students’ majors will be chosen and students will be encouraged to apply the theories they learn.
