PSY 240 - Moral Action

2 credits

We live in troubled times, and thoughtful consideration of moral issues is more important than ever. In this discussion and journal-based course, we address such questions as: How do people become spiritually mature, morally responsible, ethically able? Why do some people become immoral? We will also consider moral feeling, thinking and acting across the life span; cultural definitions of morality; and the meanings of goodness, altruism and martyrdom.
