I don't favour ethics classes being an alternative to special religious education classes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We're coming down to an extremely unethical society. Very few colleges offer courses in ethics, and very few companies have a code of conduct or code of ethics.
If you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it's not religion, but you can train through education.
Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.
I do not want to suggest that you have to be religious to be moral.
I believe that religious faith schools are highly dubious.
Since belief determines behavior, doesn't it make sense that we should be teaching ethical, moral values in every home and in every school in America?
I think ethics is always there; it's not always a very thoughtful or reflective ethics.
Ethics to me is very important.
Ethics is not routinely taught to science students except in medicine, and I think it should be.
In just about every area of society, there's nothing more important than ethics.
