Everyday Ethics

Ah love. Love with the capital L. It’s great, isn’t it –the natural high, the bliss, the warmth that comes from finding someone to love. Until you experience the lows – the breakups, the heartbreak, trusting your happiness in someone else’s hands. Well, what if you could anticipate and defend against those lows? What if…

I came across an interesting argument today by way of a friend, who sent me a link to an article in Fast Company magazine. I thought I’d share it because it asks an important question: are we ethical for logical reasons, or emotional ones? The authors come to a surprising conclusion: the gut is more…

An editing background + ethical blogging = geeky enjoyment over this Banana Republic typo. Apparently ethics are in style this season!

This mom did. She let her 9-year-old son ride the NYC subway alone, giving him 20 bucks, a map and a Metrocard, along with some words of advice. Why? Because he wanted to. Lenore Skenazy is a writer and mother of two who believes kids grow up better when they have some breathing room and…

It’s hard for someone like me, with no legal background, to understand the intricacies of yesterday’s Supreme Court decision about the New Haven, Conn. firefighters’ discrimination (or so-called  ‘reverse discrimination’) lawsuit.   Obviously, there’s more going on here than just a test result that was tossed out in fear of a lawsuit. (Or is there?)…

I just watched a “The More You Know” PSA with John Krasinski (aka Jim from The Office) spreading the message that while hate is passed on through generations, its effect can be diluted by showing respect. This in turn reminded me of the controversy over Sacha Baron Cohen’s newest movie Bruno–some gay rights advocates are…

So I have this great doctor. He cured my migraines (well, made them a lot better) when no one else could. My mom, who’s suffered similar headaches for decades, swears by him. And he’s a really nice guy. He’s charming, he’s attentive, and a caring, concerned medical professional. Only thing is, I’m pretty sure he’s…

Come on… you know you’ve told one or two Michael Jackson jokes over the years. The self-proclaimed “King of Pop” has been such a startling public figure–with his bizarre plastic surgeries, his wild and wacky but undeniably trend-setting outfits, his dangling offspring, ever-changing skin-color and his unlikely marriages–that his life provided unparalleled fodder for public…

I don’t love dogs. Don’t get me wrong–I like ’em fine. I may even coo over a particularly cute one (or a homely one–somehow the homely ones touch my heart more than the handsome ones), but I don’t have a great affinity for them, and they can pretty much take me or leave me too.…

How much information are you willing to disclose to snag a job? Most companies already insist on background checks, but Bozeman, MT, is asking applicants for city positions to submit their social networking usernames and passwords. Guess I won’t be applying there anytime soon. Granted, submitting this  information is voluntary. Still, how far is too…
