About religion, ethics and conscience notes

GoConqr Original

Using Religion, Ethics and Conscience notes

The notes offer different ways into the unit. Religious Ethics introduces ethical theories, while Business Ethics considers relationships between businesses, consumers and employees. Other notes look at conscience, natural moral law and sexual consent.

Start with What is the Conscience? if you want to focus on conscience. Then read Conscience Notes for a discussion of Aquinas’ view. Compare what each note says and write a short summary in your own words.

Turn reading into revision

Work through a note in sections. After each section, cover the text and recall its main points. Return to the note to check what you missed. For an applied topic, use Business Ethics or Sexual Consent to identify the issues raised.

When you want to check your recall, switch to a quiz on the unit page. If a topic needs a more visual summary, look for a mind map there instead. Pick a note and start with a section that interests you.
