What's the right thing to do? [Video, links]
Michael Sandel runs a course on Justice at Harvard. He's now opening the course to the world, as a Massive Open Online Course. You can register for free, if you'd like to explore your moral limits & how you think about justice. You could, alternatively, watch the series of youtube videos, beginning with "The moral side of murder", & follow the links for more, if you're interested. Certain to test your sense of justice, & get you thinking.
