Tariq Ramadan speaks on the topic of ethics and what it means to us and its context in religious texts. He talks abut where our source of ethics and morals lies. Whether we are naturally moral people, whether it is something we learn from society or whether it derives from religious texts.
He also talks about people and society on a whole and how we all related to each other through our shared ideas of ethics and morals and how we differ. Helping us understand how we are the way we are as individuals.
