An online collection has raised more than $145,000 for a man who stumbled onto a pile of money and turned it over to police. Glen James' story of a good deed is just one of many making headlines. It may not be exactly brand new, but public interest does seem to be piqued these days by ordinary folks making what are seen as extraordinary ethical decisions.

The best meaning of the word "ethical" in this context is "moral." Ethical refers to principles or standards that guide individuals to determine what is right or wrong in their conduct or behavior. In this case, Glen James' action of turning over the money he found to the police is seen as an extraordinary ethical decision because it demonstrates a strong moral compass and a commitment to doing what is right.
