Welcome to Philosophy 110: Introduction to Ethics! This is one of my favorite classes - I hope you'll all learn a lot, think hard, and have fun doing it. Philosophy makes your brain work hard, but it's great fun.Here's a link to your syllabus and schedule for this semester. The college is making a big effort to save paper, so I'll only have a few copies of the syllabus for those who don't have access to a printer, or regular access to a computer. If you'd like a printed copy of the syllabus, please print one out and bring it to class.
This is the course blog - bookmark it so that you can find it easily later. We'll be using it a lot this semester.
If you're the eager type who likes to get started early, your first assignment is already posted below. Just scroll down and you'll see it.
Let me know if you have any questions, or if you have trouble opening the linked syllabus.

ReplyDeleteI understand that people with severe anorexia have a harder time digesting the food that they eat causing them to starve to death without consuming the nutrition they need. But the only way they can overcome this sickness and get back to being healthy again is by feeding them through a stomach tube or an intravenous line. I’m not saying that doctors should force them to choose this option because it is their body, but what I am trying to say is that this is probably the best alternative for people with severe anorexia. It is either have the doctor feed you food through a stomach tube or an intravenous line or struggle with this stressful sickness for the rest of your life. Would you rather have your life last for a long period of time or would you rather have your life cut short because of this sickness? It is your choice and your body you know what is best for you.
