Episode 19: What role do ethical decisions play in a functioning society?

Our podcast series YOU ASK we explain - Berührungsängste in der Medizin started in 2023 and is published monthly. In our 19th episode, as part of TUD Lectures+, we discussed the question: What role do ethical decisions play in a functioning society?

We wanted to discuss with you and answer your questions. Is there a right or wrong way to act? What social values and principles of our behavior guide us in voting decisions, and why are certain actions considered morally good or bad? How do these decisions influence us in our political thoughts and actions? Together with the Advisors, we will explore which principles guide us as a community and how we can shape a just and solidary society together.
