Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.
Groucho Marx
How do we define right and wrong? How do you know what is the ethical thing to do? We watch the news and we might get the impression that a lot of people don´t really know the answer to these questions, or may have gotten the wrong one. This week we want talk about something that our society desperately needs but which is not taught at school: Ethics. So join our Conversation Club for some deep conversations and tell us how to make the world a better place.
