Parental Guidance
This course discusses the Trolley Problem as a cartoon illustration as a thought experiemnt for moral choices where the person has to choose whether to direct a tram to run over 1 person or 5 people. We also talk about the meaning of life and the possibility that there is no external meaning, only the meaning we give it ourselves. It is done in a light hearted very abstract manner but some more sensative students might find it distressing.
Pre-Requisites
No previous experience required but please note this is not a basic class, so younger students may find it more challenging unless they are already very keen on this subject.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
