Simple Ethical Skills

This book has been written to offer all those working with young people a consistent system of ethical reasoning. It will also be useful to new immigrants who need to understand the basics of democratic government and the general ethical standards of the society in which they are now living. The four simple ethical principles offered here are acceptable to all main religions and are based not on the teachings of any one particular religion, but on the wisdom of the past and reason for today.

The author has had twenty years of experience teaching years 7 and 8 in the field of situation ethics.

Add to this many years of experience in business, farming, coaching juniors in sport, and active involvement in local body and environmental affairs.
