Essential Questions

Community: Are there certain obligations for humanity to treat members of a community and the natural enviornment in a certain way? Are there constraints? If so, are the obligations and constraints based only on a concern for the indirect effects on humanity?

Justice: What are the justifications for, and implications of, claiming that there are universal standards for morality? When moral codes of individuals conflict, can criteria be developed for an international morality that transcends them?

Forgiveness: To what extent does the state of a person's knowledge play in deciding whether an act is right or wrong? Under what conditions would it be legitimate for a person to plead ignorance?
