Ethics and Social Concern, Volume Two (Ethics & Social Concern)

Ethics and Social Concern gives undergraduate students an overview of key issues in the three major fields of applied ethics: Business, Medicine, and Mass Media/Journalism. Anthony Serafini has collected the most poignant essays and articles by some of the most provocative philosophers and writers within these areas of applied ethics. Among the critical topics covered are:

• Should AIDS Victims BE Quarantined?
• Multinational Corporations
• In Vitro Fertilization and Feminist Ethics
• Whistleblowing: The ReporterÂ’s Role
• Blackmailing
• Integrity in Journalism
• Confidential Sources
• The Profit Motive in Medicine

To help students see the common underlying ethical themes across these fields of inquiry, Serafini has written introductions to each section to ferret out the affinities and connections between the articles.
