"Good is a product of the ethical and spiritual artistry of individuals; it cannot be mass-produced." --Aldous Huxley
The Challenges of Everyday Ethics
From our friendships to our jobs to our conduct in public, seemingly small decisions often pose tough ethical dilemmas, says Joshua Halberstam, author of "Everyday Ethics: Inspired Solutions to Moral Dilemmas". In his words, "While the usual moral evaluations of societies tend to focus on such broad issues as crime, economic equity, and foreign policy, just as important to consider is the moral health of our everyday interactions. For after all, this is how our lives are lived: day by day, one "small" moral judgment after another." In this article, Halberstam offers guidance for navigating the ethical dimension of everyday life.
BE THE CHANGE
Consider the "artistry" in how your own ethical framework has evolved. Experiment with bringing an ethical awareness into as many everyday moments as you can.
