question about gaming courses in CoB

Date: Jul 6, 2005

Religious convictions aside, Can CoB faculty be compelled to teach gaming-related courses if doing so conflicts with responsible social and ethical values?

They teach the morally-suspect benefits of unbridled capitalism, so what's the difference?

So what should they teach BC? communism? socialism? wouldn't you be happier in California?

As opposed to the contrarian "everyone is equal" philosophy from the arts?

I think the thing that set Black Cat (and possibly others) off is the discussion of religion. Many profs marginalize others' religious beliefs because they subscribe to the "religion is the opiate of the masses" mindset. There are those in the LAB who would object to any philosophy other than communism or socialism, just as there are business profs who object to LA profs who rail against conservative politics in class.

How many degree programs have a course dedicated to ethics? All business majors are required to take ethics as part of their degree programs. To say that business profs teach "unbridled capitalism" is incorrect. Unless Black Cat has a business degree from USM and is willing to step out with his or her real name, then the value of his or her opinion is pretty much $0.00. No experience + no credibility + a big mouth = know-it-all know-nothing.
