1. Business: What Is It Good For? 商业：它的好处是？
What is the purpose of business? What is its role in a just and humane society? Many believe that business is a morally suspicious activity, a suspicion reflected in the common belief that business people should “give back” to society. Is business an activity for which one should atone? Can business contribute to the common good? Are people right to be suspicious of business? This seminar draws on philosophy, business, and economics to evaluate the purpose and practice of business. We will examine several competing perspectives, including some drawn from Catholic social teaching, to explore whether, and if so, how, one can be virtuous while at the same time engaging in business in a market economy.
商业的目的是什么？它在公正和社会正义方面扮演什么样的角色？多数人认为商业是一种可疑的活动，这种怀疑反应在商人应该回馈社会的普遍信念中。商业是一种需要付出代价的活动吗？企业能否为共同的利益做出贡献？人们对商业怀有质疑的态度是否正确？本次研讨会利用哲学、商业和经济学来评估商业的目的和商业的实际。我们通过几个不同的有竞争性的观点，包括来自天主教教会教义的观点来探讨一个人是否可以在市场经济中从事商业活动的同时保持道德，如果可以，如何做到这一点。
2. Global Issues: Violence and Peace in the Modern Age
全球问题：现代的暴力与和平
Today’s news seems like a litany of catastrophes: wars across parts of Asia, the Middle East, and central Africa; the largest global refugee crisis in modern times; rising intolerance, racism and authoritarianism in Western democracies; poverty and underdevelopment in vulnerable communities; and instability and conflict driven by climate change. This seminar begins by investigating these pressing contemporary challenges, with a focus on war and violence, examining how extremist nationalism coupled with dehumanizing ideologies can engender war and mass atrocities, systemic discrimination, and entrenched poverty and inequality. Focusing on three areas of the world – the Middle East, central Africa and the United States – we explore these problems from a global and local perspective.
当今的新闻似乎是一连串的灾难：亚洲部分地区，中东和非洲中部的战争是现代最大的全球难民危机。西方民主国家的不容忍；种族主义和独裁主义的现象日趋严重；弱势社区的贫困与欠发达，以及气候变化等因素引起的不稳定和冲突。本次研讨会通过调查目前存在的挑战，重点关注战争和暴力，研究极端民主主义和非人道化的意识形态如何导致战争和大规模暴行，歧视和根深蒂固的贫困和不平等。我们重点关注世界三个地区：中东、中非和美国，从全球和本地的角度探讨这些问题。
3. Inequality in America: America’s Social and Economic Inequities 美国的不平等：美国社会和经济的不平等
The US is the most unequal high-income economy in the world, with wealth inequality rising. The top ten percent of American families controlled nearly 70 percent of the wealth in the US in 2022. Over the last fifty years, the poverty rate in the US has remained stagnant. How do we explain America’s social and economic inequities and stasis? How do these facts change when examining intersectional identities based on race, class, and gender, particularly in the context of anti-immigrant xenophobia and anti-black racism? Students in this course will develop a critical understanding of the historical and contemporary causes and consequences of inequality and how it is reproduced in society.
美国是世界上最不平等的高收入经济体，财务不平等加剧。2022年美国前10%的家庭控制着美国近70%的财富。过去50年以来，美国的贫困率一直停滞不前。我们如何解释美国的社会和经济的不平等及停滞的现状？基于种族、阶级、性别这些多重身份时，特别是在反移民仇外心理和反黑人种族主义的背景下，这些事实汇如何变化？通过这些课程的学习，学生将对不平等的历史和当代原因和后果以及不平等如何在社会中重现产生批判性的理解。
4. The Environment: Science, Policy, Ethics 环境：科学，政治，伦理
Protecting and preserving the natural environment is the most urgent challenge facing scientists, humanists, policy makers and ordinary citizens today. Sustaining our environment is critical to human flourishing, as well as the flourishing of non-human kin, in both the short and long term.This leadership seminar will explore a wide array of interesting and thorny problems related to the environment, including climate change and species preservation, air and water quality, sustainable agriculture, and prudential resource extraction. We will think about these problems in a broader social context, interrogating questions of global justice and the differing responsibilities and needs of developed and developing countries. We will also delve into matters some might regard as “science fiction,” including protecting the natural environments of other worlds, establishing permanent, human settlements on the Moon and Mars, mining minerals on asteroids, and landing probes on distant worlds, like Jupiter’s moon, Europa.
保护自然环境是当今科学家、人文主义者、政策制定者和普通公民当今面临的最紧迫的挑战。不管是从短期还是长期来看，维护我们的环境对于人类及非人类家族的繁荣都是至关重要的。本次领导力研讨会将探讨一系列与环境有关的有趣并棘手的问题：包括气候变化和动物保护、空气和水质，可持续农业和慎重的资源开采。我们将在更广泛的社会背景下思考这些问题，审视全球正义问题以及发达国家和发展中国家的不同责任和需求。我们还将研究一些可能被视为“科幻小说”的问题，包括保护其它世界的自然环境，在月球和火星上建立永久的人类居住区，在小行星上开采矿物以及在遥远的世界(木星的月球）上着陆探测器。
5.The Power of Investing: Financial Literacy and the Miracle of Compound Interest
投资的力量：金融知识和复利的奇迹
Albert Einstein is famously credited with saying, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn’t, pays it.” To continue that thought, the miracle of compounding can be more clearly described as the seemingly small, This can be seen quite clearly through investment returns, but the laws of compounding apply more broadly. People and companies have a moral obligation to consider the long-term impact of their decisions. As investors, we need to exercise our critical thinking skills to understand how our portfolio decisions can be optimized for both financial return and global impact.
In order to invest for change, we must first understand the basics of financial literacy and the role it plays in accumulating assets. By crafting a lifelong financial plan, students will learn about the fundamentals of finance and the tools of wealth creation. Topics include investing inside and outside retirement accounts, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and tax considerations. The goal is to ensure your financial security, so you can select the career of your choice, help those in need, and support important social causes.
阿尔伯特。爱因斯坦有句名言：“复利是世界第八大奇迹”。懂得利用的人会赚取很多钱，反之不懂的人会为之付出很多钱。复利看似微小，但是渐进的变化在长期会产生非常大的影响，我们可以从投资回报中看出，但复利法制的适用范围更广，个人和公司有责任考虑其决策的长期影响。作为投资者，我们需要锻炼我们的批判性思维能力，如何优化我们的投资决策，以实现财务回报和对全球的影响。
为了进行投资的改变，我们必须要了解金融基础知识及其在累积资产中所发挥的作用。通过制定终身财务计划，学生将学习金融基础知识，作为创造财务的一个工具。讨论的主题包括：退休账户内外投资、股票、债券、共同基金、交易所交易基金和税务考虑等。目标就是确保您的财务安全，您可以选择自己喜欢的职业，帮助有需要的人并支持重要的社会事业。
