Test - Ethics

Out Sick - Libertarianism

I'm unfortunately not doing so well today.  As a result, your test is pushed back one day and you'll start looking at Libertarianism.   I'll be calling on the help of Dr. Sandel one more time to guide us in this task.  Watch the video below, this information will be critical to our Justice Unit.

Even if it says "we're processing this video" you should be able to download it without issue.  It is also available on youtube if you search for it on your phones.

I will hopefully see you all tomorrow.  Have a good day.
