In this ethics lesson, the focus is on charity and its implications, examining whether it serves as a solution for people made vulnerable by external factors like poverty, war, or pandemics. The lesson introduces a moral dilemma known as the “Heinz problem,” where a man named Heinz is unable to afford an essential medicine for his critically ill wife due to its high cost, prompting discussions on societal responses such as financial aid, challenging capitalism, or seeking government intervention. Students are encouraged to explore these ethical questions and consider how best to support those in need, making connections to an earlier lesson on vulnerability for a more comprehensive understanding.
