"There is a very old work of fiction from this planet," Anakin said as he passed around copies of a short story, "that uses a hypothetical situation to debate a larger moral question ( Read more... )

Today's classroom was rearranged again, this time with a single round table in the center of the room, with Anakin and Obi-Wan already seated at it. "Last week we did an exercise in perspective," Anakin began. "Today we'll discuss how it made you feel and what kind of ethical obligations it might bestow upon beings who might not have seen how ( Read more... )

Today the classroom's desks were shoved to the sides of the room and a white tape was going down the middle. Anakin and Obi-Wan were standing on it. "Today we're going to explore how assumptions we make about how we interact with the world might not be universal," Anakin began ( Read more... )

"Hello, and welcome to this year's Ethics class," Anakin said, glowering from the front of the room. Don't you feel welcomed, kids? So welcomed ( Read more... )

"Today we're going to talk about the seven deadly sins, or easily identifiable vices found in most sentient species," he began ( Read more... )

Anakin had a coffee in a cup that he was staring into dubiously. "They got my order wrong," he complained to Obi-Wan. "This has stuff in it. I just wanted coffee." His jaw clenched. "I'm going to do something about it after class. How hard can it be to get BLACK COFFEE right?"
