This course helps you to place ethical concerns within a context of practical issues. You will be able to explain about the importance of properly informed decision-making, concerning your research, science development, human rights, and animal rights/welfare. In particular, for example, you will discuss about how you may untangle the webs of conflicting interests to solve issues related to mercy killing, blood transfusion, and birth control/eugenics by looking at four salient biomedical priciples: autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence, and justice.

As ethical fields for researches and medical treatments have
developed in response to the needs in specific work places
or social conditions/status, we have faced some
discrepancies and dilemmas in applying ethical principles.
Taking into account these problems, this course examines the
development of individual issues in applied ethics,
including human rights, animal rights/welfare, research
ethics, industrial risk management, sustainable development
and international environmental negotiations. These topics
aim to provide a global environmental context for students
to reexamine their good choice for the quality of life in
modern society as global citizens. This course also aims to
foster applicable ethical visions among students for their
future both as persons and professional workers. The
objective of this course is to help students form their own
intellectual opinions that can be both practical and
innovative for solving problems. The evaluation is assessed
by one short research paper and in-class discussion/participation.

人権(human rights), 生命倫理(bioethics), 研究倫理(research ethics), 産業リスクマネジメント(industrial risk management), 動物の権利?福祉(animal rights and welfare), 生命の質(quality of life)

③ Comments on Grading Practices for This Course
You may wonder why you received A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, and
other grading marks for your paper. Here is roughly what it
means.

A+ or A: This paper has an excellent quality in terms of
essay organization, writing skill, originality, mature
insights, and independent argument. It is based on your
considerable research effort and the sound and original
interpretation of sources. The paper is also accompanied
with clear and appropriate academic citation and references.

A-: This paper demonstrates its good quality of essay
organization, writing skill, originality and independent
argument in most part of the discussion. It is based on good
research effort and the sound interpretation of sources. The
paper is also accompanied with clear and appropriate
academic citation and references.

A-/B+: This paper has a potential to be qualified as A-
paper with some good revision effort.

B+ or B: This paper contains some good quality discussion
with independent argument or insight. However, it falls
short in essay organization and clarity of its writing. The
argument may be inconsistent at some point or not cohesive
enough to make a cogent discussion throughout the paper. It
is based on some research effort but has a good potential to
be improved by more research work and writing refinement.

B-: This paper basically understands the requirement of the
course assignment, but falls short in fully expressing the
importance of paper topic. It shows some effort of research
on the paper topic but do not effectively convey your
thoughts and analysis. Or it does not properly cite sources.

C+, C: This paper has some serious problem with essay
organization, writing skill, originality and independent
argument. It does not seem to respond to the assignment
objective properly though it may be greatly improved with
further research and writing improvement.

C-: This paper does not seem to understand the assignment
objective. It does not seem to be based on research.
However, this paper can be improved with additional research
effort and better understanding of essay writing.

D: This paper fails to respond to the course requirement. It
needs to resubmit or redo the assignment. Or it may have
problem with plagiarism or academic honesty.
