Ethical understanding involves students in building a strong personal and socially oriented ethical outlook that helps them to manage relationships, context, conflict and uncertainty, and to be aware of the influence that their values and behaviour have on others. Students develop the skills to navigate complex cultural, social and technological changes that impact on relationships. They learn to respond in ways that take account of ethical considerations such as human rights and responsibilities in a world of competing values, rights, interests and norms. Students develop skills to explore areas of contention, select and justify their ethical position and engage with and understand the experiences and positions of others.
