[2A2] ETHICS [2A2] The second goal of the required leadership/ethics flag courses -- learn to make real-life ethical choices -- is closely related to the core purpose of the University of Texas, to transform lives for the benefit of society. It is also one of the basic education requirements of U.T.: “have experience in thinking about moral and ethical problems.” Our ethics goals are[2A2c] To experience more directly the ethical dilemmas presented by speciesism, especially cruelty to animals.[2A2d] To become aware of real-life ethical choices made daily by all of us involving cruelty to animals.[2A2e] To return to the traditional college goals of developing character and conscience.[2A2f] To practice replacing fear and greed with love, compassion, tolerance, and the sympathetic imagination.
