TEDTalks

Description

Jonathan Haidt studies how and why we evolved to be moral. By understanding more about our moral roots, his hope is that we can learn to be tolerant of those whose morals don't match ours, but who are equally good and moral people on their own terms. In this TEDTalk, Haidt explores five moral precepts that form the basis of our value systems, whether we're left, right, or center. However, he also pinpoints the differing values that liberals and conservatives tend to honor most.
