This video along with the lecture on Ethical decision making is interesting and gives good framework to work through difficult decision processes. Some of the above may, in some contexts oppose each other, presenting a dilemma which would have to be dealt with in the relevant context. For example, ethnic profiling may be against human rights but be perceived as larger good. Also, acquiring private assets, say, for construction of a road or a dam may seem to go against human rights but may be seen as fr larger good. A very good thought provoking framework.

Those are good ideas to think about. And for a 12 years old video, the quality and the content is decent.
