Ethics and Moral Truths

These credentials document competencies including overall knowledge of critical thinking, ethics, and principles of social justice. Though many of these positions require appropriate education at various levels, and additional training, a fundamental understanding of philosophy provides a foundation that supports many aspects of daily tasks and decision-making. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to explain theories of ethical absolutism and ethical relativism, including the role that culture plays in each, and how different philosophers have interpreted issues related to ethics and moral values.
