Sometimes you can tell a book by its cover. The cover of the new textbook displays a GPS (global positioning system), the latest technology that has replaced the compass in helping travelers find their way. The GPS represents the authors’ intent to help readers develop a heightened awareness of the risks and rewards of ethical decisions made in everyday life – often referred to as one’s moral compass. The GPS can not only help you decide which way to turn, or which option is best for your purpose, it is particularly useful when you are lost or can’t get your bearings. The GPS makes getting back on track in the direction you want to go much easier.
