Current topics in development ethics, political ethics, media ethics, governance ethics and business ethics are developed from African perspectives, using examples drawn from Kenya and Tanzania. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 recognised the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of the members of the human family as the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world. Article 1 states: 'All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.' These values form the basis for this publication.1 online resource (148 pages)engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 Generic deed (CC BY-NC-ND 2.5)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/AfricaBusiness ethicsPolitical ethicsCorporate governance--Moral and ethical aspectsdevelopment ethicsHuman rightsethical leadershipmedia ethicsChristian ethicsPolitical ethicsGovernance and ethicsDevelopment ethicsBusiness ethicsEthics of global commonsMedia/communication/information ethicsReligious ethicsSpecific religion, ChristianityAfrican contextual ethics : hunger, leadership, faith and mediaBook
