In our global society, numerous ethical issues need to be addressed every day. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and not know where to focus our attention. This Module Two project proposal will help you begin focusing on a single global ethical issue, which you will explore for your project. Throughout the term, you will complete assignments that examine this issue from different perspectives, and you will express your own personal ethical standards as you understand them. You will begin by choosing a topic.
