Ethics Class, Monday, 2-4pm

Tara's face is tight and drawn as she addresses the class.

"For those of you who heard about Friday's class - we're not talking about that. If you wish to talk to me in my office hours you are very welcome to although they will be slowplayed liek woah, because I'm single parenting this week. However, I would appreciate it if we could keep in-class discussion today on the topic at hand.

"The topic, such as it is, will be chosen today by you, not by me. Here's what I want you to do:

"Raise an ethical issue. Give us your opinion on it. I don't mind what you choose - there are hundreds of issues we haven't touched on yet in class. Go wild. Have some fun with it, if you want to, just make sure there is an ethical question to be addressed. Respond to another person's raised issue with your opinion - beyond just 'I agree'. I'd love to see you all engage in some proper debates with one another, and I'm quite happy to give extra credit for people who engage in multiple debates."

"That's a tough one. When you sign up, you've got an obligation to obey your superior officer. It's not the man behind the position you're obeying, but the position itself. Same as you salute the rank, not the man. But sometimes there are situations when the man breaks his vow to fill the role appropriately and then you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. I guess you'd have to make the decision for yourself about whether or not you chose sticking to the rules or breaking them for the good of your men."
