Why should I be good?
An animated parable exploring the concept of morality using the story of a boy who finds a ring of invisibility and explores ways in which he can use it. The clip considers how we know the difference between right and wrong and where our motives for behaviour come from. This encourages children to reflect on the origins of morality; whether it be parents and teachers, a religion, or whether we are born knowing the difference between right and wrong. It's adapted from Peter Worley’s The If Machine.
