Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse the concept of compromise through a discussion of teaching ethics in class. The discussion opens with some reflection on compromise. Next I present the complexity of abortion and turn to discuss my personal experience in teaching this issue in the United States. Some ideas are offered on strategies to teach complex ethical issues in class and the paper ends with some question marks for further debate.

Keywords: abortion, ethics, compromise, teaching dilemmas
