Ethical Dilemmas
This course explores the ethical dilemmas or ethical paradox, a decision-making problem between two possible moral imperatives, neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable. The complexity arises out of the situational conflict in which obeying would result in transgressing another. Ethical dilemmas may be invoked to refute an ethical system or moral code, or to improve it so as to resolve the paradox.
Academic Supervisor: Agusti Guisasola Prados
Negotiation
This course of negotiation explores the strategies and techniques to improve the dialogue between two or more people (or parties) intended to reach a beneficial outcome over one or more issues where a conflict exists. In any disagreement, the participants aim to achieve the best possible outcome for their position. Negotiation is a method by which people settle their differences and reach compromise or agreement while avoiding argument and dispute.
Academic Supervisor: Earle Taylor
Arbitration
This course of arbitration presents a form of alternative dispute resolution outside the courts. Arbitration is an independent process where disputing parties agree that one or several individuals can make a legally binding decision about the dispute after receiving evidence and hearing arguments. Arbitration is different from mediation because the arbitrator has the authority to make a decision about the dispute. This decision is enforceable in the courts.
