Ethics and Values / Unit 1 Ethics 028 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Control and Blame

The idea
Praise and blame presuppose control: a person answers for an action only if the action was up to the person.
In practice
Nobody blames a cashier who empties the till at gunpoint; everyone blames a manager who empties it for a beach fund. Control divides the two cases.
