Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I expect a textbook to be easily usable as a reference tool, and the format of this book did not meet that criteria. Overall, I found this book very challenging to use as a textbook. There are no chapter summaries or chapter indices for vocabulary introduced in each chapter. When a new word is introduced, the text is merely italicized, not bold-face, so it is difficult to find when searching for a reference. The paragraphs are also rather long, and the material is a bit dry and tends to ramble. On the positive, there are a lot of external sources inserted at the ends of the chapters (excerpts from books and movies) that give more "real-life" examples of the concepts in practice.

The Moral of the Story, offers a remarkably effective approach that helps students understand and evaluate moral issues. Through storytelling and story analysis, using examples from fiction and film, Rosenstand brings classical moral theories to life and shows student how these theories are applied to the world around them.The sixth edition of this text with readings has been thoroughly updated to include coverage of and examples from recent research, events, and films.It also expands the applied ethics chapter to include the additional topics of media bias, abortion, euthanasia, business ethics, and environmental ethics, in particular the issue of global warming.
