Question

An online collection has raised more than $145,000 for a man who stumbled onto a pile of money and turned it over to police. Glen James' story of a good deed is just one of many making headlines. It may not be exactly brand new, but public interest does seem to be piqued these days by ordinary folks making what are seen as extraordinary ethical decisions. What is the best meaning of the word "ethical" as it is used here?

Answer 1
