Description

In this lesson, the learners will explore morality, rebellion, and influence through the story of Luigi Mangione, a man who risked everything to challenge corporate injustice. Students will discuss why people idolize charismatic figures, question whether extreme acts can ever be justified, and reflect on the role of insurance, money, and ethics in their own cultures.
