Doing the Right Thing is a DVD-based six-part exploration of ethics suitable for small group or classroom study. Filmed before a live student audience in Princeton, New Jersey, panelists and guests examine and discuss questions such as
How did we get into this mess?
Is there truth or a moral law that we can all know?
If we know what is right, can we do it?
What does it mean to be human, and why does it matter?
How do we rebuild and apply ethics and morality in the marketplace and public life?
