Really worth a watch - Confessions of a Pro-Social...
A fascinating talk of James Fallon, a neurologist with an unusual story. His talk brings quite a lot of interesting questions to think about, and I would really advise it to all, plus, it might fit well as a basis for some high-school class.

The Cathedral and the Education Bazaar

Reducing the impact of disaster through education
