BASIC APPLIED ETHICS

The book addresses various contemporary ethical issues from multidisciplinary perspectives within the context of both western and non-western practical experiences. New and original papers on current issues in religion, business, politics, medicine, law, governance, traditional African view and Terrorism in relation to ethics are comprehensively treated in the book. To this end, well known scholars have been assembled to write new, original and practical papers in the areas of philosophical ethics, religious ethics, ethics in law, ethics in governance, business ethics, medical ethics, African ethics and ethics in War and Peace. The focus of the book thus is the application of ethics to difficult and sometimes controversial questions. The authors explained and assessed claims, issues and relevant arguments. The authors freely express their own conclusions and insights as not all of them share the same viewpoints. The book is useful for people in academics, business communities, religious groups, environmental groups, legal profession, security experts and students(both undergraduates and post-graduates)
