THOMAS G. PLANTE, The Mercury News; Opinion: The world Is a mess. Embracing ethics might be our only hope
"Perhaps our only hope to reverse these disturbing trends is to dramatically embrace better ethical decision making on a massive scale. This is no easy task, and our prognosis for doing so is poor. No one wants to be told what to do and to be criticized for their decisions. In fact, when I was recently shopping an ethics book proposal around to publishers, I was told by one editor that, “No one will read a book on ethics since no one thinks that they have an ethics problem. If anything, people think other people have ethical problems, not them.” Oy!
I believe that there are three critical ethical principles that we should all embrace for our well-being and survival."
