European Education

Formal and informal means are used to foster tolerance in European educational institutions, including through the establishment of a complex set of moral values (inclusion, principles of academic integrity, etc.). The declared principles are reflected in the codes of ethics, which serve as guidelines for the development of national educational systems, provide an ethical foundation for educational practices of specific universities, and so on.

Common Criticism

A common criticism of the Green New Deal proposal to address climate change is that it would centralize too much power at the level of the federal government. However, the Green New Deal can avoid this by centering local action and decision-making in keeping with the principle of subsidiarity from Catholic social ethics. This principle holds that higher levels of society should not override the initiative of lower levels of society but should instead coordinate and support their work whenever possible. A focus on subsidiarity is already present in the framing of the Green New Deal proposal and provides a sound ethical foundation for its development and implementation.

Further Development

Prisoners are often described as a vulnerable research population. This designation, while intuitively appealing, leaves unclear what is meant by “vulnerability” in the context of research with incarcerated individuals. Conceptual clarity would provide the ethical foundation needed to identify the full scope of research protections to afford prisoners. It would also militate against a tendency among some to view all prison research as irredeemably problematic and prohibitive. Drawing on a prior taxonomy of vulnerability, this chapter specifies eight vulnerability types that apply to prisoner research. It describes their predisposing factors and the ethical concerns they raise. It also considers possible strategies for addressing these concerns and highlights areas where effective strategies are lacking or need further development. This framework is intended to guide researchers and institutional review boards in the planning and review of protocols involving prisoners so that they may safeguard prisoners from abuse and promote the ethical advancement of science.
