Ethical Dilemma Video Series

Sarah Stroud: Ethical dilemma: Would you lie? | TED Talk

The Parr Center for Ethics and TED-Ed are jointly producing a co-branded ethical dilemma video series, drawing on UNC Philosophy’s world-class expertise in moral philosophy and the Parr Center’s commitment to nourishing and fostering ethical reflection across the lifespan.

The series invites learners of all ages to reflect on the nuances and particularities of ethical decision-making and to promote moral and intellectual virtues that are integral to a vibrant, respectful civic sphere: including intellectual humility, curiosity, and moral sensitivity. Each video is accompanied by a set of pedagogical resources that enable further reflection and curricular integration.
