Course content |
The seminar is divided in two main parts: the theoretical foundation and practical training. In the first part, fundamental terms and historical theories of applied ethics are presented and discussed. We will also have a close look at current ethical issues, dilemma situations and the ongoing value debate. In the second part, each student works out a case study and applies a selected CSR method to a company. Among others, corporate goals, their relation to stakeholders, suppliers and employees, transparency, labour rights or environmental issues will be assessed. We will be discussing aspects of "a good life for all", environmental issues and hacker ethics. Optionally, an application for evaluating companies can be developed. |
Learning outcomes |
The students are sensitized by ethical reflections on the meaningfulness and consequences of economic and technological developments. Among other things, asked the question what constitutes a "good life for everyone" and what are the requirements for this. The connection between successful action and observance of ethical principles should be made conscious, but also questioned. Several CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) methods are taught and a case study implemented, focusing on the diverse relationships with "stakeholders". |
