Discriminate and interpret diverse moral and ethical perspectives. 

The Politics of Fear: Is it ethical?

“Anti-globalization rhetoric in Greece is predominantly articulated in terms of conspiracy theory, mistrust of other cultures and strong nationalist feelings” (Theodossopoulos & Kirtsoglou, 2009, p. 83).  That was Greece nearly a decade ago.

Sound familiar in today’s society?  And it’s not just here in the United States. Anti-immigrant sentiment, strong nationalist tendencies, and the stoking of fear among the citizenry are happening worldwide.  Google “anti-immigrant sentiment” and you’ll see populist movements from Australia to Germany.
