Why a Moral Compass Matters in a Complex World | Piotr Barankiewicz | TEDxIPS Wroclaw Youth
In his thought-provoking talk, Piotr explores how we navigate ethical decisions in an increasingly complex and uncertain world. Beginning with the classic trolley problem—and then presenting creative variations—he challenges the audience to confront their own moral reasoning. As the talk unfolds, Piotr examines what it means to build a personal moral compass and why it’s essential in guiding our actions and choices. Through real-life examples and philosophical insight, he encourages reflection on how we can think more clearly, critically, and ethically in moments that truly matter. Piotr is a high school student who recently completed his IGCSEs and has served multiple times on the student council, reflecting his strong sense of responsibility and leadership. With a keen interest in ethics, philosophy, and decision-making, Piotr enjoys exploring how individuals form their values and navigate moral dilemmas. His curiosity about human behavior and critical thinking shapes both his academic work and personal growth. Outside the classroom, he’s known for his thoughtful perspective, collaborative spirit, and commitment to making a meaningful impact in his community.
