Opis

Every human action perhaps intended at some good, and the good which is chosen for its own sake rather than a means to an end is the highest good. Ethics is the most authoritative and architectonic science will also play an important role in good governance. In the advent of modernity owing to scientific advancement human behaviours can be confined to one s greed. In the contemporary societies the laws of the state alone matters and there is no place for morality which remains only in books. This is indeed a very sorry state of affairs. The moralists and sincere social thinkers are pushed to a corner in the modern political endeavour. Therefore people in the contemporary societies have either begun to reject or ignore the moral values. In this scenario this book Ethical Dilemmas in Contemporary Societies contextualizes important human factors such as Corruptive Attitude, Alcoholism and Harassment of Women. There is no doubt that the above three factors pose great threat to peace and harmony in the Society. This book also promotes critical thinking, normative discussion and reflective judgments on the above three important aspects.
