Carnegie believed that the best way to improve the lives of other people was to educate them while sending them the message that ethics matter wherever you are. I think this is a good approach and it could work to improve peoples lives as long as they keep up with it. However, if you are given the education but don't have resources or opportunities then there isn't much that you can do with it. Though I think the ethics message would be powerful. If I had hundreds of millions of dollars I would be smart with it and I would definitely donate a lot.
