520 _a"Although there are several approaches to teaching college ethics, the use of moral issues is probably the most popular as well as the most appealing to students. The moral issues approach, on its own, however, has some drawbacks. It often fails to provide students with the analytical tools necessary for making real-life moral decisions. Students may also come to confuse "ideology", or the holding of certain views on issues, with morality itself. Analyzing Moral Issues provides a corrective to these drawbacks by combining the appeal and strengths of the moral issues approach with a solid foundation in moral theory and moral reasoning. In addition to giving an overview of some of the major moral issues in our society it (1) gives students the hands-on skills necessary to recognize and analyze moral arguments, (2) introduces students to both western and non-Western moral theories, and (3) teaches students how to write a paper in moral philosophy as well as how to productively debate moral issues."
