Welcome to Concept Corner! Key concepts for this module are:
\nGlobal Ethics<\/b> Global Ethics is a field that explores and considers the ethical dimensions and implications of global issues. It considers issues in which there are immediate impacts on human rights, such as torture, terrorism and human trafficking, as well as broader issues that can impact on future generations, such as climate change, pollution and so on. Find out more in this week\u2019s activities.\n<\/p>\n

Idealism<\/b> Idealism is an international relations theory that places moral and ethical considerations ahead of national interest and pragmatic concerns. It is a complex term, and you are strongly encouraged to find out more here:
