A number of organizations and think-tanks have taken on the most pressing questions of our day, but relatively few have addressed such quandaries as basic as “Are there a core of shared, moral values?” In 1990, the Institute for Global Ethics started with this crucial inquiry and expanded their scope to work towards understanding these values. From the homepage, visitors can read through their online resources, which include the Ethics Newsline (a weekly electronic newsletter), letters from their president, and a number of topical white papers. Some of these papers have rather compelling titles, such as “Ethics and the Learned Professions” and “Corporate Social Responsibility and Peacebuilding: A Case for Action in Israel and the Palestinian Territories”. Finally, users of the site may also wish to take a look at their calendar of upcoming seminars and lectures.
