Ethics and Our Idols

Ethical consumerism refers to the choices the public makes in buying products. This conversation will consider the ethics of purchasing products created by artists or athletes who have engaged in interpersonal violence. Do our choices of books, movies, sports merchandise, and other purchases constitute an endorsement of support for people whose personal behavior has been demonstrably harmful? What are the positive and problematic considerations in ethical consumerism? Join us for this relevant and thought-provoking discussion and an extensive opportunity for audience Q&A.
