Living with Integrity: Navigating Everyday Ethical Dilemmas
Even with the highest ideals and best intentions, we don't always know the right thing to say or do. Living with integrity is never easy. We all try the best we can. But every one of us faces dilemmas day in and day out that challenge our sense of right and wrong.
 
Lesson 3: Charity
When faced with a choice to save the whales, feed the starving in Africa, or give to your local synagogue, where should your charitable priorities lie? Do taxes, tuition, and community dues count as charity? Should you give to a beggar when he may use your donation to buy drugs or alcohol?
