Each part begins with an introduction that encapsulates relevant ethical concepts and contextualizes the issues in the upcoming essays. Throughout the text, discussion questions prompt students to reflect on the information presented and to consider how ethical issues affect our society and their own lives. An instructor guide offers tools to facilitate these discussions as well as over 50 assignment recommendations.
