...well? what DOES it mean? A red light clearly means to stop; a green light clearly means to go.  But what does a yellow light mean?  Some comedians have suggested that yellow lights at intersections mean "come on... you can make it."  Others, including departments of public safety, have suggested that the yellow  light requires a driver to slow down, consider the situation carefully, and then make a decision whether to stop or move forward.

Ethics Applied 5.0 and the companion volume Business Ethics Applied 3.0 take the latter view in applying ethical principles to the challenges of daily life.  Designed for the undergraduate first course in ethics, this new edition offers students a strong foundation in classic and contemporary approaches to moral reasoning while also providing a wide variety of applications for further study.  Developed by faculty at St. Petersburg College in Florida, the fourth edition has been thoroughly updated and revised, with many new chapters, so as to offer students the most current applications of ethics along with dedicated chapters covering the underpinnings of all ethical theories. Either book is appropriate for an undergraduate first course in Ethics.

Ethics Applied 5.0 asks students to stop and think, reflectively, to use the powers of critical thinking and moral reasoning to apply ethical principles they've read about and considered thoughtfully.  The chief outcome is that students will have a grasp of theories and - more importantly - be able to develop and apply their own approaches to decision-making.
