Everyday Ethics

Ever heard the phrase, “High Class Problems”? As I understand it, it refers to those who bitch and moan about their woes, when they really have it pretty good. In other words, if you look in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of little old me.   Like, recently, I’ve been whinging about this temp…

Today the New York Post reported that looky-loos trying to get an eyeful of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews, who was apparently filmed in a state of undress without her knowledge or consent through the peephole of her hotel room, went trolling the internet for a video, only to encounter, instead… a virus.

Take a look at this videotaped apology Chris Brown just came out with to address the 2009 Grammy Awards Eve beating of his girlfriend, singer Rihanna.  I’m curious… after watching it, do you think he’s sincere? And, if you think he is, do you believe an apology — even a good one — can suffice…

As human beings, it’s in our natures to dream big. And as a species, we’ve done some astonishing things.

He also urged African Americans to take responsibility for their own future success, saying, “Your destiny is in your hands, and don’t you forget that… no excuses.” (Watch video here.)…

Not. On Tuesday, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda sentenced a former governor of Rwanda to life imprisonment for his role in the 1994 genocide. This is the third such ruling this year; previous convictions by the U.N. court include 25 years in prison for a military chaplain convicted of genocide and crimes against humanity,…

Hi all. A quick shout out here from Hillary land. I just started a short temp assignment on top of my other gigs, and while I was drumming my fingernails waiting to get set up with the internet so I could accomplish my assigned tasks, I couldn’t help wondering, “Hmmm, would it be ethical for…

Back in 2006, Maria del Carmen Bousada gave birth to a set of twins – at the ripe old age of 66. Three years later, she’s passed away, leaving behind two young children. After Bousada became pregnant using in vitro fertilization, questions were raised about the ethics of having a child that far along in…
