Summary: In this paper, the author argues for an expansive approach to engineering ethics education that considers both micro-ethics and macro-ethics as complementary. The author explains the distinction between micro-ethics and macro-ethics, rejects arguments for a restrictive approach, and proposes an expansive approach that emphasizes the value of the deliberative perspective. The author also suggests that macro-ethics education can learn from micro-ethics pedagogy.

Summary: Task reallocation is a promising solution for capacity problems, but it is a highly contested and difficult issue to institutionalize in the medical profession. Conflicts arise from intraprofessional competition and create tension between professionals. This article analyzes task reallocation in a nursing home using concepts from empirical ethics and valuation studies, highlighting the importance of good care modes in understanding the dynamics among professionals and managers.

Summary: Robust engagement with ethical dimensions and challenges is vital for responsible practice and progress in neurology and neuroscience research. Neurologic conditions introduce novel ethical and philosophical issues due to the privileged relationship between personhood and the brain. Neuroethics is an emerging field dedicated to identifying and evaluating these issues to inform optimal clinical practice and responsible neuroscience research.

Summary: This study conducted a longitudinal, mixed-methods investigation on moral disengagement among 274 undergraduate engineering students, using Bandura's theory of moral disengagement as a framework. The researchers found that engineering students' overall propensity to morally disengage did not change over time, but there were significant differences in their responses to three mechanisms of moral disengagement. Interviews with students further explored these findings, and the study discussed various theoretical and practical implications based on the results.

Summary: The study investigates the role of three normative ethical theories in ethical decision-making of corporate executives, finding that managers use different theories in different situations. However, a predictive model for ethical decision-making cannot be established, and only a limited number of variables influence the choice of ethical theory, leaning towards a postmodern management paradigm.

Summary: John Dewey believed that philosophy and educational theory were originally identical. Philip Kitcher's book, The Main Enterprise of the World, is welcomed for providing a radical re-education about social justice, advocating wealth redistribution, reduction of privilege, and redefining values in production, distribution, and consumption. This summary will critically evaluate Kitcher's proposed Deweyan Society, his suggestions for classrooms, and the philosophical and educational significance of his pragmatic justifications.
