Description
How do we navigate the complex landscape of moral choices and societal norms? What insights can we glean from influential thinkers who have grappled with these questions throughout history? This subject will help you develop your moral point of view, challenge your perspectives, broaden your intellectual horizons, and provide a deeper understanding of the cultural and ethical values that shape our world. You will have the opportunity to visit the Gold Coast's Home of the Arts (HOTA) and be a part of the Movie Review Club to discuss ethical and life-matters as presented in select films with a panel of academics.
