To get this video for yourself or your kids, go to www.createspace.com The decisions of a few individuals can make momentous changes to a nation and even to the entire world, based on their individual actions. If you’d don’t know your ethics- your values- you won’t know what to do in an emergency situation where you have the control — where you can make a real difference. This program motivates people and shows striking examples of what can happen when people do not know how they feel. It gives viewers ways to develop their personal ethics—their ethical standards. Personal Ethics explores the personal ethical mistakes at Chernobyl, at the Exxon Valdez disaster, by Gangsta Rappers, and uses their stories to help viewers understand their ethical values so that they can articulate them and use them when needed. The show is hosted by Meg Ryan, and made for children over the age of 12 and for adults as well. The program was funded the Center For Global Ethics.

Capt. Hazelwood’s driver’s license was suspended or revoked 3x by state of New York for alcohol violations since 1984. At the time of the Exxon ’89 Valdez incident, his NY state driving privileges were suspended as a result of a DUI arrest on Sept 1988. — I was USCG licensed capt ’95-’02, urine-tested for marijuana, not alcoholism. Week-old traces of THC were cause to terminate my livelihood, but it’s not hard to find alcoholics legally driving at sea. Smoke that and think about whats wrong?
Personal ethics, responsibility, intoxication. Yeah, I’d say they’re all important things to consider when millions of gallons of toxicitiy are in your hands.
@HUSKY57887 You are absolutely correct. It was his lack of understanding of his personal ethics that, in our view, allowed him to let something like this happen and to cause it to happen. We are asking young people to explore their ethics in advance so that they can rely on them when emergencies happen that can affect the whole world or at any other time.

The Exon skipper had no personal ethic;he was too drunk.
3:52 is hard to see the bird like that… really hard.. and with the much more demand things will be worse…. count on it
@ShaolinFambo: what you say is correct, they or we (humans) shouldn’t be doing oil drilling and extractions for our sake, for the sake of our planet and all species that live in it.
The top priority of the captain should be and most be, in his case the environment, not his crew or his ship; he was responsible for a tanker with oil, and knowns it’s a hazardous material and leave it as its last priority, that’s so wrong
First of all we dont “need” oil. If they say they worry about the environment and all that..we shouldnt even be drillng.
