Week 2.1

Read these articles from Week 2:

·  Introduction to Global Issues

·  A Global Ethics for a Globalized World

·  Virtue Ethics and Modern Society

·  Classical Stoicism and the Birth of a Global Ethics: Cosmopolitan Duties in a World of Local Loyalties

Reflect: The change of our world from a local economy to a national economy to a global, international economy means that increasingly diverse populations will have to work together to achieve common goals. However, as the economy becomes increasingly global, local economies and people may suffer economic disadvantage or may find themselves marginalized from the rest of the world. Globalization creates ethical dilemmas for which we will need to find solutions.

Write: For this discussion, address all the prompts:

1)  Explain the implications of globalization.

2)  Identify at least two ethical issues that go along with the global societal topic you have chosen for your final essay.

3)  Explain how globalization contributes to or affects these ethical dilemmas.

4)  Propose solutions to these ethical dilemmas that are feasible financially, socially, and culturally.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length.
