What's the Right Thing to Do? Understanding Ethics

"Welcome to today's exploration of Ethics, one of the most fundamental questions we can ask ourselves: what does it mean to live a good life? We'll delve into the groundbreaking ideas of ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who argued that ethics is not just about right and wrong, but about cultivating the habits and virtues that make us who we are. Join us as we examine the nuances of Aristotle's concept of the "mean" and its implications for our understanding of morality and personal growth."
