Morality is central to human development. In this course, students will be introduced to the topic of morality from philosophical (ethics), anthropological (culture), sociological (society), and psychological (thought and behavior) perspectives. The primary focus of the course will be on how morality has been examined from psychological approaches. Key issues to be studied include how individuals acquire social and moral concepts, the role that culture plays in the acquisition of these beliefs, and the relationship between how individuals evaluate moral issues and how they act on them.
