ETHICS CENTER FILM SERIES (Spring 2007)

The Ethics Center film series is designed to encourage participants to identify issues of ethical concern both in popular and less mainstream cinema. Using film as a medium for the exploration of ethical problems and as a means to provoke dialogue and debate over issues ranging from public policy issues to individual moral decision-making, the series aims to advance the theoretical understanding and practical application of ethics in common, everyday situations. Following the screening of each film, participants are invited to take part in an open discussion of the ethical problems and/or controversial issues it raises.
