8. Philosophy 211, ethical problems??

   katgurl77 replied to katgurl77's topic in General Students

   Well, At least I'm not alone I guess I wouldn't have such a huge problem with this class if it taught maybe a little on how to deal with things, and how to MAKE ethical decisions blah blah blah, but all we're doing is looking at relativism, absolu...

    katgurl77 replied to katgurl77's topic in General Students

    rn2be2006 I got the feeling that abington really didn't need anyone else to apply. They were a bit cold if you ask me, however I hear thats the best program to go into. are you going to montco? I hate CCP. Holy family's main campus is really quaint,...
