This unit is designed to develop the students awareness and appreciation of the ethical dimensions of sport management and active recreation. The unit will facilitate the development of the students ability to analyse critically various issues, policies, practices and relationships within sport so as to inform sport management, active recreation and professional work cultures. Special attention will be paid to the development of ethical reasoning and its practical application to topics such as: anti-doping, match fixing, diversity and anti-discrimination (e.g., gender and sexuality, race, ethnicity and religion, ability and disability); health and safety (e.g., injuries, childrens rights and protection, animal welfare, environmental protection).
