What's the Right Thing to Do?

Harvard Professor Michael Sandel challenges participants with difficult moral dilemmas, asking: What’s the right thing to do? Participants are made to think about subjects including immigration, robotization, discrimination, income inequality and privacy. Will they stick to their convictions or do they possess the capability to reconsider them?
