Integral to our First Year Experience are the themes place, purpose, and well-being. This course will put sharp focus on the topics of purpose and well-being.

This course incorporates the common themes of Place, Purpose, and Well-Being by an examination of both classical and contemporary philosophical texts with the goal of beginning a philosophical conversation. We will use this conversation to explore the questions of how men and women understand their place in the world, and their relationships to each other guided by our authors. A common insight we will explore is that the quality of an individual person’s life is profoundly affected by the political and moral health of the community wherein he or she lives. A community that recognizes the dignity and autonomy of its members lends to lead to a fuller and more complete life for its citizens than a community where its members are marginalized and exploited.

What compensatory obligations do providers have in the realm of informed consent? Funding — should the quality of health care vary by the means of the payer? Death — what is death?

In this course, we will explore the moral, social, and ethical ramifications of the choices we make at the different stages of the data analysis pipeline, from data collection and storage to understand feedback loops in analysis.
