Becoming As Ethical As We Think We Are | Morgan Hamel | TEDxYYC

We’re not as ethical as we think we are. And, if we realize it, we have a better chance of being better. Fashion Ethicist Morgan Hamel shares her own personal struggle with the ethics of egg donation, as well as dilemmas in her fashion business and an unusual interaction with Andy Fastow from Enron to show that understanding the role of self-interest is key to becoming the individuals and companies we already think we are. Morgan Hamel started The Garment to connect women and responsible brands. Her company brings together women who are interested in owning fewer, better pieces and the companies who make them. Her work is about more than just clothing-it’s about community. After studying ethics in school, and working in the ethics office of a large corporation, she learned just how much grey area there can be. She created a business model based on her experience that is changing the face of fashion. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Great way to tie in multiple stories - the Enron exec situation and his ethical problem, our ethical problem, your ethical problem, the grey area, your responsible garment sales, and your beautiful family. So well put together succinctly and profound. Very well written.

I’ll probably have to make huge ethical decisions throughout my life and I hope I do them right but for now I will start with cleaning my peanut butter jar, excellent talk, thank you!

This is such an inspiring talk. Business Ethics is becoming more important and less talked about. One could tie the entirety of the covid 19 pandemic to a failure of the world system to uphold the virtue of sound ethics. I hope to come to watch this again. I am glad you found a way to make it work for your family. So inspirational. More people should see this master piece of a presentation. Thank you Morgan!

An interview with possible ethics in the public service brought me here. Ethics is actually deeper than I previously thought. I now know better .

Here is an ethics issue. Tons of plastic balloons here at TEDx behind this speaker, if they are real :-) I am sure she did not choose them herself though :-) other than that, what a great vulnerable talk. I totally agree with her. One of my jobs is as a mental health worker for the NHS. It’s so different doing triage and just reading about a patient versus when you actually speak to a human being. Often just reading you think, oh well this hasn’t worked in the past and they seem to be a drain on the already stretched resources, but once you talk to them, you sometimes hear the amount of suffering they are in, so you decide it would be unethical not to offer them at least something and see how they respond.

I’m sure there is no ethical quandary present here when a portion of her talk is focused on promoting her business, which she acknowledges turns decent profits, while promoting general ethical principles like altruism.

I don't know Mrs. Hamel, if you're a master of ethics and all, then the desire to become a parent should have led you to the decision to adopt a child in need of a home and parents. Ethical egg donations is still egg donations, plenty of children in the world looking for parents.
