Sexual Ethics Test Questions
Course Introduction
Sexual Ethics is a course that explores the moral principles, cultural norms, and philosophical theories that guide human sexuality and sexual behavior. Through the examination of topics such as consent, sexual autonomy, love, marriage, gender identity, and sexual orientation, students analyze ethical dilemmas and arguments related to personal and societal attitudes towards sex. The course draws upon diverse perspectives, including religious, feminist, and LGBTQ+ viewpoints, encouraging critical reflection on contemporary issues such as sexual rights, pornography, sex work, and the impact of technology on sexual relationships. By the end of the course, students will develop the tools to thoughtfully assess and articulate their own ethical positions regarding sexuality in a pluralistic society.
