Workshop Preview

Many believe morals are universal and unchanging, while individuals or groups develop ethical codes to follow within their respective institutions or professions. This interactive workshop will address the origins, importance, and existence of morals and how they relate to ethics. We will explore how morals and ethics have changed, how culture, worldview, perspective, and experience impact one's moral compass and the consequences of ethical violations. Additionally, we will discuss morals and ethics and their applications to history, politics, governments, education, health and healthcare, and the present.
