JoinThe Study of Ethics in the Applied Science Curriculum: Training Future Science Educators in the Ethics of Nutrition
Science classes are an appropriate place for students to examine relevant ethical problems. Nutrition science classes, in particular, discuss current scientific information as well as ethical issues, such as cultural differences, meanings attached to foods, and questions of informed choice. In a nutrition course at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, students apply ethical principles in considering various scenarios drawn from newspaper and magazine articles.
