I've been teaching a freshman course in human nature for the last couple of years, and often many of the questions are so abstract that it's hard to coax opinions, much less considered judgements, out of the students. Teaching ethics again is fun, because they get so much more riled up over the examples.
What kinds of stuff does one look at in the psychology of ethics and morality? Case studies like Milgram's? Habit-formation and culture?
