Reviews

[Zane]

So far this book provides a nice foundation into social issues and questions into right and wrong, values, and how perceptions and culture play a crucial role in decisions. Some nice movies to go along with this are: Hunt for Justice (War Tribunal former Yugoslavia), Deadline (Views on the death penalty that will solidify or make you question your own values), The Lives of Others (East German Eaves Dropping and perspectives, ethics, and morals). Good stuff.
