Relativism, ethnocentric issues highlighted in bizarre African documentary on Austrian customs. [8]
- Video for the Trolley Problem [9]
- First episode of Michael Sandel's video series "Justice." Reminds me of an Ethics class with a political and real world emphasis. [10]
- Randy Mayes has collected some ehhhokay short philosophy video to go along with his intro class. I recommend sampling some of these for topics and position papers. [11]
- Anyone interested in classical philosophers and want their original texts would be interested in this site [12] I've used it to look up The Meno, but I'm assuming more stuff is on here.
- 3 minute philosophy!!! [13]
- Free Yale Philosophy class called "Death" [14]
- Squashed Philosophy [15] -- a summary of many different works. Great if you need to get an idea of what's what.

- Now this is a satire, but relevant to our readings by Singer. Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal [18] (Ethan)
- Teaching ethics to inmates, you may be surprised what you read. [19]
