Jim: The students knew
it wasn't just a job for me.

:05:04
I got involved.
:05:06
Put down the cards, boys!
:05:08
This game is over!
:05:09
Jim: And I cared.
:05:11
Come on, Wolverines!
:05:13
Defense! Let's go!
:05:14
Jim: And I think
I made a difference.

:05:16
I knew I touched
the students' lives

:05:18
during their difficult
young adult years.

:05:20
And I took that
responsibility seriously.

:05:24
In the 1 2 years
I taught U.S. history,

:05:28
civics, and current events
at Carver,

:05:30
I was voted
Teacher of the Year 3 times.

:05:33
A school record.
:05:35
Teaching was all
I'd ever wanted to do.

:05:40
Standing in front of
a roomful of young people,

:05:44
trying to get them excited
about the world,

:05:46
trying to make them think,
:05:48
preparing them for the tough
moral and ethical decisions

:05:52
that they'd face as adults,
:05:54
that's how I wanted
to spend my life.

:05:57
So is this
a moral situation

:05:59
or an ethical situation?
:06:01
What's the difference between
morals and ethics anyway?

:06:04
Anybody?
:06:07
Derek.
:06:08
Yeah. Ethics is
like when you do

:06:10
what society tells you
is right to do.

:06:12
And morals...
:06:16
Yeah, yeah,
you're on the right track.

:06:18
Can anybody help him out?
:06:22
Michelle.
:06:23
Morals are like...
Iessons.

:06:26
You know, like
the moral of a story.

:06:28
It's what you learn
from a story or a fable.

:06:32
Or a life experience. Good.
:06:34
And ethics?
:06:36
Um, ethics is how
you use the morals

:06:39
thatyou learn
from the story?

:06:41
Yeah, OK, but I think we're
missing something key here.

:06:45
What are we missing?
:06:55
Tracy.
:06:56
Ethics are rules of conduct--
:06:59
Jim: Tracy Flick.
