Ethics is the subject. I was listening to that conservative NPR station again and they had a very interesting program on ethics. By the way, this proves that NPR must be a conservative station as everyone knows that liberals never talk about ethics, while conservatives just love to talk about ethics! But I digress…
The point that I found interesting is just how specific ethics have become. There are medical ethics and there are political ethics. (Yes, I know that’s an oxymoron) There are business ethics and legal ethics. Apparently there are ethics for just about every human endeavor. And the odd part is this; they are all different! Shouldn’t all ethics be very similar?
Believe it or not, business ethics are somewhat less restrictive than medical ethics; although that is a statistic in flux…
Do we really need ethics for every situation? Isn’t there a simpler way? You know, like, maybe we could all use that old one, “Do unto others…etc, etc.” You must remember that one. You do remember it…don’t you?
