I enjoyed the enthusiasm and engagement that was shown in this video. It is a lot more exciting to watch and listen when the person speaking keeps you intrigued. I also enjoyed how real life story's were involved in the teaching of the content. For me, I am a lot more likely to retain information when the content is compared to real life things.
The presenter use common sense to express many issues regarding ethics.
