This is a topic that has always fascinated me, how is it I see the world so differently than some. Our family background and my own personal success should make me a conservative, but my conservative friends know better. Enjoy.

"Psychologist Jonathan Haidt studies the five moral values that form the basis of our political choices, whether we're left, right or center. In this eye-opening talk, he pinpoints the moral values that liberals and conservatives tend to honor most.

Jonathan Haidt studies how -- and why -- we evolved to be moral. By understanding more about our moral roots, his hope is that we can learn to be civil and understanding of those whose morals."
