Perfect for introductory ethics courses, this popular anthology encourages a critical examination of contemporary moral problems by presenting differing viewpoints on issues like the death penalty; euthanasia; hate speech and censorship; world hunger and global justice; and the environment. The readings, half of which are new to this Fifth Edition, include relevant opinions, as well as selections from the work of some of the most respected contemporary writers and thinkers.
