IMPROVE CRITICAL THINKING

• Cases for study and discussion illustrate for students how ethical theory and discussion can be specifically applied. Each case is open-ended and encourages the student to examine his or her own ethics and views on how the situation should be handled. (ex. p. 76)
• A chapter on how to set up an ethical system. Chapter Eight contains guidelines on how to establish and apply a personal ethical theory to a range of specific moral issues, while also covering traditional ethical theories. It directs students on how to ponder and develop their own ethical ideas, while educating them on traditional theories. (ex. p. 138)
• Appendices one through eight discuss moral problems in business, medicine, the environment, and more. Each appendix contains a general discussion of the problem and discussions of specific cases. These appendices contain the author's own views on how the various moral issues in the book might be dealt with and resolved. Instructors may assign each appendix with its respective chapter, posing various discussion questions for students to deal with. They may also hold off assigning the appendices until after students have formed their own theories and solutions to the issues and problems discussed. These appendices help students analyze and critically evaluate a series of ethical solutions and serves as a catalyst for exciting and profound discussion. (ex. p. 380)
• Supplementary Reading Lists supply resources that make the material more tangible and stimulate further exploration. (ex. p. 90)

• Chapter Objectives at the chapter openings provide students with a summary of complex issues and outline what they can expect to learn in the chapter. (ex. p. 1)
