NCEA L3 English - Eye in the Sky
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr A. van der Velden
The title of this course comes from a film by the same name - a thought-provoking film that looks (amongst other things) at the morality of the military using drones - piloted thousands of kilometers away - to kill the enemy.
This course will focus on the concept of morality, with a particular focus on the morality of war - if there is such a thing!
