In all honesty, this kind of statement/question is a valid one for more or less everything in life in varying levels.
Take sports for example. How many of them aren't plagued with rigged outcomes via bribing ? Even in a lighter tone to say so, there is always players ignoring the
rule, wounding the opposition and whatnot.
Do you believe working environments are safe from social ethics or lack thereof in that case ?
We are free from our basics needs nowadays. By this I mean that living in rich countries means in most cases you'll have no hunger, thirst, fear of outside contingencies (animals, weather, ...). On top of that, we tend to try to identify to our heroes, be they superheroes, stars (singers, actors, ...) or huge sports players (This is cliché but fairly accurate at least for the 12-25 years old) and aim higher while forgetting how we came to it. In history, great names were adored, not imitated. We think of us as better than we are in general when we don't go the opposite way and get all depressed about not being "that good" (although even these people also think highlier of them than they believe). A lot of people (or at least I hope so) don't care but they express themselves less and are seen as a minority. (Btw I'm not shitting on real depressed people here, just those claiming to be)
All this implies we have more trouble understanding stakes in general. We don't care. How many times, when people have to follow a simple but annoying law/ethic rule, they just don't because they either are impatient (ignoring road signs) or think it'll have no repercussion. When people start losing touch with reality they leave those rules to others. We all left reality a little bit, humanity created new ones in its time. Like I said, we became "better?" with time and technology, going ever further from what we were before. It's not new but this process also generates hubris. People have more and more control over their lives, not having to worry about food, water, shelter, walking to go to point x, ... More automatisation frees even more of our time and energy. In the end we want more and don't want to bother with rules/ethics more than we do with anything else.
Also we don't feel like following ethics while "Hey other people don't, why should I ?". It would mean you hamper yourself. We always follow others in some way, it's normal.
My point is : we are now wanting to simplify everything, not bother with adapting to others that may not have the opportunities we had : having a specific formation, ease to get into workout and get aaaaabs (or here having the GF'ed enchants idk).
Yeeep, I way overthinked this sorry
. Look
@maraki , the man
@fungchewuchi said it, all of that's been said. It will be said in a lot of things in life, only with different context. Get used to it, there's no real true good answer, it's more or less a philosophic question at this point. You'd better stop creating threads, you waste your and our time now, you have answers, now make your own with all these. I doubt anybody here could give a definitive explanation not do I think I did. As
@Leek said, let's not pretend we are any social experts, mate I'm a future small farmer in France's countryside, I don't know shit about the world. At least I hope you'll stop trying to make people here argue about a subject already milked out.
Peace
