The Significance of Ethics and Ethics Education in Daily Life | Michael D. Burroughs | TEDxPSU

Although we might not realize it, we all face ethical issues on a regular basis. But how do we know how to respond well to these issues, to make better (as opposed to worse) ethical decisions? In this TEDx talk Dr. Michael D. Burroughs discusses the numerous kinds of ethical issues we face, possibilities for increasing our ethical awareness as "everyday ethicists," and the importance of introducing ethics and philosophical education in our schools. Dr. Burroughs also discusses the role of ethics in the lives of children and ways in which adults can attempt to understand and learn from children in ethical discussions.
Michael D. Burroughs is a philosopher, ethicist, educator (and beekeeper). Michael earned his PhD. in Philosophy from the University of Memphis and currently serves as Associate Director of the Rock Ethics Institute and Senior Lecturer of Philosophy at Penn State. Michael has published widely on topics in ethics, the philosophy of education, and childhood. In addition, he has devoted much of his professional career to practicing philosophy and ethics with populations beyond the university, including children in K-12 schools, prison inmates, and senior citizens. Michael's forthcoming book (co-authored with Jana Mohr Lone) is entitled Philosophy in Education: Questioning and Dialogue in Schools (Rowman and Littlefield, 2016) and addresses the purpose, theory, and practice of teaching philosophy and ethics in K-12 schools. In addition to his professional pursuits, Michael enjoys spending time in the out-of-doors, playing music, and traveling, among other things.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    I appreciate your comment about choosing 'ethically better as opposed to ethically problematical'. The biggest struggle I find with ethics is, whose values take precedence? Naturally, we are predisposed towards our own perspectives and these act as a filter, even when we try to be unbiased. I like that you foreground that at the core of the ethical process, whilst rationally requiring a selection of a direction to take, is motivated by care and deep reflection. The more I look into ethics, the more the realisation comes that there is no simple, right or clear pathway; that the path of least resistance may be a poor route in the long term; and that the best one can do is choose the 'ethically better' path following a careful and reasoned decision process. Thanks for your talk.

    Mmmmm.....not sure about Michael's direction and content here re ethics. As someone who has taught ethics across multiple learning and teaching contexts: elementary, secondary, college and university (undergraduate and post graduate) ethics IS about personal beliefs, morals, duty and respect (yes we stray into Kant's teachings but I digress).....NOT about a society's or community's ethical standards eg norms He IS correct (and from my experience over the past 30 years) to state that children DO have an ethical or moral compass. A mixed bag with this TEDTalk.

    actually to touch on what you have stated there, in what Mr. Borroughs is speaking when it comes to ethics it is easier to teach a child because they are more open to being ethical due to children are curious and with curiosity comes questions, with questions, comes ethics " what is right and what is wrong" children learn about ethics in their everyday life, yet they do not teach ethics in the schools because if you look back they decided a while back to take " God" out of the schools, now almost all of the great philosophers having to do with Ethics studied God and used him in all of what they spoke of and researched. so just to kind of make it a point when they decide to pull the God card, then they also pulled the ethics card at the same time.

    Should we ever trust that word "ethicist?" All of the people in the following example were certain that their ethics was "God"-given. And most people on planet earth, are in one religion, or another. From the book … Drop Dead: A Horrible History of Hanging in Canada, author … Lorna Poplak. Capital punishment, the execution of someone found guilty of a crime, dates back to arrival of the European explorers on our shores. In those days, if you were condemned to death, quite a wide range of methods could be used to punish you. You could be hanged, or face a firing squad, or be burned at the stake. Although Canada remained a collection of separate British colonies until Confederation in 1876, a Royal Proclamation in 1763 replaced the prevailing Canadian legal system with the laws of England. By the end of the 1700s in Britain, however, the litany of crimes regarded as sufficiently horrible to warrant the death penalty had swelled to 220, including nefarious acts as keeping company with gypsies or skulking in the dark with a blackened face. In 1828, Patrick Burgan of Saint John, New Brunswick, aged eighteen or nineteen, received the death penalty for the double offence of stealing a watch and some money from his former employer and clothing from a sailors’ boarding house. Given the power and pre-eminence of religion in Canada at that time, your very life would have been in jeopardy if you were caught scrawling slogans on the side of a church. You could also be hanged for stealing your neighbor’s cow, which was the fate of B. Clement of Montreal. And just in case you thought that the law protected the young as it does today, think again. Children were regarded as miniature adults and treated as such - Clement was only thirteen years old when executed.

    I wonder if one of these speakers can ethically speak of current issues without going into details about “supposed world happenings,” such as global warming? This is not a proven science but this guy unethically states global arming to be fact to these people searching for Honesty in an ethic’s forum. They have just been lied to. Therefore, of what value is this guy to all? He, if he himself was truly ethical would clearly state that what he speaks to are thought to be accurate assumptions by some, and use these as examples of how we are easily influenced by people believed to be honest and ethical. He needs to be challenged on this, not buy us, but by TED executives even before he’s allowed to proffer such misleading statements. No wonder TED is seen as fake news by so many in the ethical world!
