Ethics Library: Articles and Links Lawrence Hinman of the University of San Diego has founded a page with links to hundreds of sites on the internet containing articles focusing on ethical issues. Ethics Updates is an extensive and comprehensive library "dedicated to promoting the thoughtful discussion of difficult moral issues." It contains analysis of historical sources on the study of ethics, classic texts, as well as articles and lecture notes on applied ethics. With religion, as with ethics and other studies, it is important to go to original sources as much as possible in order to avoid the misunderstandings that attach themselves to a body of knowledge over time. By no means complete, this A to Z Guide to World Religions from the BBC gives a taste of the wide range of religious philosphies that are available to the curious. One weakness of a list such as this is that it can be very difficult to boil down a philosophy (and the differences amongst these philosophies) into a truly accurate, generalized description. Family therapist Ronald Huxley, whose website ParentingToolbox.com is regularly featured on Oprah.com, has some interesting insight into how children develop moral awareness. Foundations Magazine is an online publication dedicated to presenting solid ideas for building an ethically-based life. It offers interesting articles from a variety of authors and times. Among others, you will find George Washington's Rules of Civility & Decent behavior in Company and in Conversation. Technological advances nearly always come with new ethical considerations, and cyberspace is one place where technology changes continually. Legal Match's Guide to Cyberspace Law is a great resource for keeping up with regulations that protect consumers in important areas such as intellectual property, e-commerce, freedom of expression and privacy concerns. Two interesting home-grown Blogs on the topic of Ethics: Christopher Bauer's Ethics Nexus and Kate Jones' Morality Matters.
