Businesses and economic systems shape our lives, politics, and society. In fact, there are few aspects of our lives that are unaffected by commerce and economic forces. Because of this, the connections and tensions between ethics and business are an important and complex area of study. This course will examine whether and how corporations, workers, and consumers can behave ethically within these systems. The course will begin by covering the major concepts and theories that shape business ethics. Then, we will spend the rest of the course looking at various issues in business ethics. These topics might include corporate moral agency, privacy in the workplace, responses to sexual harassment, and environmental responsibility.
