👄 - Are they attracted to immoral behavior? If so, what specifically are they drawn to?

It would depend wholly on the person and his relationship with them. If it was a random individual gloating about an immoral act in public or showing up in the middle of a social function covered in blood, per say, he’d be more than a little put off and likely contemplating where exactly he could hide their body. Immoral behavior is an art form to the man and the better he knows someone and can watch them subtly wield it, the further in he’s drawn. Show him masterful manipulation and he’ll be in love.That’s not to say he’s only attracted to immoral behavior, but when he is, he REALLY is.

Ethics verses Fundamentals of Life #ethics #lifelessons

Ethics verses Fundamentals of Life #ethics #lifelessons

I was walking down the stairs when these words began to come to me today, so I wanted to share what I heard.

So many times people focus on the ethics of life. When they really should be focusing on the fundamentals of life. They think about immoral behavior, when in all reality, they should be looking at the fundamentals behind the immoral behavior being displayed.

For example: If someone says…

Lies, deceit & the Internet

Although “the internet [ranks] among humanities greatest technological and social achievements” (Lewondowsky, 2011), it is important to note that,  “…the Internet has also given rise to a dark side; namely [ethical and immoral issues]” (Lewondowsky, 2011).

In last weeks reading, Hamelink's piece focused on a general chapter that discusses what the increasing use of the Internet asks of us. His conclusions were derived from a specific view-point which led me to some confusion...

Hamelink's reading confronted me with the notion that, “lies and deceit are important tools in our social and personal communications" (Hamelink, 2006).  Is it true? Have I created a life that is made up of lies and deceit for the sake of social and personal communication?

No. I haven’t….I believe the Internet has.

According to (Hamelink, 2006), “the internet itself is part and parcel of a common and popular pattern of lies and deceit about the benefits of advanced information and communication technologies”. 

  The concept of the Internet has become a powerful tool, seeping into the realms of everyday lives, business, politics and social and personal communication.

  “It is obvious that on the Net all those moral issues that confront us in daily reality are again on the agenda. All the immoralities of physical life occur in virtual reality: censorship, lust for power, treason, stalking, lying, gossiping, peeping, stealing, cheating, seducing, breaking promises, insulting, and being unfaithful, unreliable, uncivilized, or abusive” (Hamelink, 2006). 

The Internet indeed poses ethical issues and moral problems. "The speed of digital communication does not create new forms of immorality, but makes it possible to commit immoral acts so fast that one hardly notices" (Hamelink, 2006). As Ally Atkins argues, “the anonymity of the internet has made it far easier for pedophiles and sexual predators, as well as identity thieves and other criminals”. Therefore, “the chance[s] of getting caught on the grounds of immoral behaviour has diminished considerably” (Hamelink, 2006). Moreover, "

  Why is it that, the Internet (and its dark side) has become such a powerful, yet immoral and problematic tool? 

The answer might lie in Leela's statement : "It is not this new technology that is a problem; it is how “we” are using it."
