Unethical values of our society
Answers
Answer:
Generally speaking the negative effects will take years, perhaps decades, to surface. And even then the results will be disputed and arguable. There are numerous immediate impact as well. Let’s take a recent example, still in the news. When Trump started the Biden investigation solely to benefit his upcoming election; that was unethical to say the least. It was clearly against the law as well. However, having circumvented the law with the aid of many very complacent elected officials, the unethical part remains. The result is the negative image it has sewed in the minds of many supporters of Mr. Biden. For proof all you have to do is look at Iowa and New Hampshire results where the Veep did not fair well at all. This is a clear negative impact of the unethical behavior Trump has engaged in, in this instance and continues to practice, to the detriment of a free society with somewhat of a moral compass. That was an easy example since Trump’s life is full of outright outrageous legal and ethical violations. But what about less obvious examples?
You name the Big Corporation, and I will show you how their collective and individual unethical values and practices have negatively impacted society and the well being of those they siphon money from and yet have the balls to call them ‘customers’. The examples are numerous, from big pharma like Purdue Pharma who produced and marketed such drugs as OxyContin, to Walmart with numerous class action lawsuits against them from poor employee treatment and wages, to products that harmed their ‘customers’. Unethical behavior, I argue, is the NORM not the exception in a society that values money above; a society that has taken free-markets and Capitalism to extremes where the words competition and fairness are meaningless. Even this society’s “faith in God” is tied to money in one way or another. The far reaching negative impact of the collective unethical values, has created a misguided society that is self diluted to say the very least. It is the society we live in currently!!
