DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Broadening the Scope of Moral Consideration</strong></p>\n<p>A commitment to lead an ethical life in the contemporary world faces unprecedented challenges of global proportions. Many of our daily choices seemingly implicate us in a complex ethical quagmire. Do we\, as residents in developed nations\, have special obligations to the global poor and to those displaced by political and social unrest? Should we take responsibility for consumption and other activities that contribute to climate change and environmental harms\, the exploitation of laborers\, rising social inequalities\, animal suffering\, the loss of biodiversity and so on? If so how? Are carbon taxes\, cap and trade\, divestment requirements\, and geoengineering morally defensible solutions to our large-scale political and social problems? What should be done about the proliferation of weapons and violence that contributes to terrorism\, props up illegitimate regimes\, exacerbates global inequalities\, and is responsible for needless death domestically and abroad? How should we understand the impact of animal agriculture\, consumerism\, militarization\, and population growth in light of environmental challenges and distributional inequities? If our problems are collective\, then what is the role of individuals in solving them?</p>\n<p><strong>Conference Schedule:&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><em>Friday\, November 3</em></p>\n<p>9:30-10:30<strong> &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; </strong></p>\n<p><strong>Is the ACA&rsquo\;s Essential Health Benefits Mandate Really Unfair?
