Living Ethics: issue 78, summer 2009
As 2009 draws to a close, Living Ethics explores some of the complex issues that confront us in Australia today; climate change policy, how we respond to asylum seekers, the illegality of abortion and the way new technologies have extended the reach and impact of bullying.
We profile some of the controversial ideas debated at the recent Festival of Dangerous Ideas, held at the iconic Sydney Opera House, and catch up on new initiatives associated with the Centre’s Responsible Business project.
We hope you enjoy this selection of summer reading.
We thank you for your continued support and look forward to bringing you our next edition that will celebrate twenty years of St James Ethics Centre.
