Description
A collection of readings about current and emerging issues in moral problems, this anthology brings together the works of writers and thinkers speaking out from opposing positions. The fourth edition contains 33 new readings and three new topical sections: sexual harassment, national health care, and war and humanitarian intervention. Other topics in this comprehensive volume include privacy, drug testing, and AIDS; abortion and euthanasia; national defense and military strategy; pornography; and sex equality. The title reflects its purposeful connection of moral problems to the realities of modern life. For each moral problem, the author provides practical applications such as recent Supreme Court cases. He also gives a general introduction to ethical theories, an overview of each problem and suggestions for further reading.
