What would you do with a found wallet?
How do we know right from wrong? Scottish philosopher Adam Smith came up with the idea of the Impartial Spectator, someone who watches and judges us and our behavior.
But what about businesses? Is there any morality there?
The truth is that most businesses are ethical. Indeed, the more ethical they are, the more they succeed, because consumers often vote with their wallets, choosing to deal with those who create positive results in society. Whole Foods is one such example. How so?

I co-teach in 8th grade English and we were discussing morality. This video allowed for a more secular way of discussing this important concept with students that are sometimes lacking here.

This is my favorite izzit.org DVD to date. I highly recommend 'Morality in the Marketplace' to high school social studies teachers. The video is short and to the point while creating great conversation among students.
