10 More Short VYou Clips: Dr. Sadler on Ethics in General
22This is the second video composed of 10 short (2 minute or under) clips which I recorded as a user of the now defunct VYou -- an innovative social network which allowed users to record short video responses to questions and comments. All of these particular clips have to do with the subject of Ethics in general. All of them are responses recorded in various places and at different times, where I address another VYouser's questions or comments.
The video quality is not particularly good on some of these clips -- they were recorded using older webcam technology.
1:20 Question 1: Who is really to say what is morally right or wrong?
3:27 Question 2: How can moral philosophy be objectively applicable? Satisfying?
5:58 Question 3: Is the motion of being morally right or wrong just a delusion? Do such notions warp or hinder the human psyche?
6:40 Question 4: Say more about how our views of right or wrong could warp or hinder the human psyche.
8:54 Question 5: Thoughts on teaching ethics? Should it be done K-12? Mandatory for higher education?
11:05 Question 6: Because we operate on a personal level with moral value judgments, do you feel that we ought to be teaching ethics in school?
13:16 Question 7: OK, so if you're teaching ethics in school, isn't that pushing your morality onto students?
15:25 Question 8: Isn't philosophy objective and logical? So I don't think a professor can push his or her morality onto students.
17:37 Question 9: What do you think about Tony Flood and the Ethics of Belief?
19:49 Question 10: What do you think is the greatest opportunity for us to practice virtue ethics in our day to day lives?
