There are a number of "socially responsible" ETFs with quite low fees - not as low, but not bad. Most focus on environmental goals, though some have worker rights, "biblical values" or equality goals too, some also seek to derive most of their revenue from the renewable industry. That's definitely riskier, but may appeal to some.

If your interested in the opposite there is always the VICEX EFT.

"VICEX, as the ticker implies, holds a basket of stocks specializing in alcoholic beverages, tobacco, gaming and defense/aerospace industries"

Just missing CXW and its 6% dividend to round out the fund.

In this context the "opposite" would be something like an energy or utility ETF (like Vanguard's VDE or VPU), funds that are 100% invested in fossil fuel infrastructure.
