GCVM1026 Globalization and Ethics (3 units)
- Medium of Instruction:
- Cantonese
This course is designed to introduce students to the identification and evaluation of moral dilemmas in the context of change and development in an increasingly globalized world. This course interrogates the relation between globalization and ethics in two steps, analytic and constructive. The sessions of analysis include the attempt to understand the constitutive economic and cultural dynamics of globalization, some of its ecological impacts, and the ways in which it generates different forms of social life and modes of thinking. Then it will turn toward study of the insights of some philosophers, such as Peter Singer, William Sullivan and Will Kymlicka, in order to learn from as well as to challenge the questions they raised.
