Although this chapter has an unassuming title-"Learning Ethics"-it is actually an essential and central part of the book. In fact, some teachers may want to begin their ethics course with this chapter. It presents and defines the fundamental moral principles that should serve as the foundation for any ethical code and offers several different strategies for attempting to resolve ethical dilemmas and conflicts.
