..Ethics!

They have the contention that Ethics can not be taught. Though for over a hundred years, Harvard, along with other Major Universities have taught Ethics as a Standard. That Standard no longer exists in as of the Late 20th Century.
... And We Wonder how we came to needing a Movement of Mass Proportions to get our Country Back From the Liars, The Grafters, the Cheaters.. and the Greedy Insanity.

...Feast your Eyes on THIS old Article that continues to plague the next Generations' mindset : ..

NYU whose campus surrounds Washington Square Park, and where OWS has had many of its activities including tomorrow's S15 is one of the poster childs for university corruption. It typically

promises students more aid in future semesters that never materializes, and it steers students to Citibank where they get a 15% kick-back. While other schools, like Princeton typically can use 50% of their endowment for student aid, NYU uses only 5%. The reason. NYU is building new campuses

through-out the world at the expense of their students. So now, rather than having a student population that is diverse, it is becoming elitist. Students graduate with one of the highest debt loads in the country, and find it very difficult to pay that debt off because of their inability to find a job anywhere near commensurate with their education in this horrible economy. It's a real problem.

Ethics at Harvard - that has just got to sit well with the greed monsters looking for new people. Oh wait a sec Harvard has attached no real value to the ethics offering - could that be considered kind of like collegiate lip service to an area of study?

Hell I remember being taught ethics/morality in grade school. I wonder if that is taught there any more?

It's too disturbing to even contemplate for any length of time. .. We have a New Generation of Youth coming into their own.. thinking that those who are Ethical are Weak.

For example.. the Reality Game Show, Big Brother has a 29 year old House Guest ( we will call him 'Dan' ).. that uses the Bible to get Trust from the others.

.. He has promised on his Wife's head.. recited Passages from the 'Good Book'.. and generally targeted the Basis of Trust in any feeling person.. their Belief System. Used it against them at every turn to manipulate his Way To 500K.

What gives me chills.. other than the Fact this DAN guy on BB14 is winning, it's the people on the blogs and Forums .. ages 19 to 30 that think of him as a 'Winner'. to almost Hero Worship..!?

The Guy has crossed lines that Hitler Invented.. to brain wash.. cajole the very Soul from those he would control..

... and more.. This DAN on BB14 is a church going High School TEACHER! Each time you see him, he has a Smirk on his face.. so Satisfied with how he is winning, and drools at the thought of the Prize money.

... Would love to hear how he responds to any of his students when they ask him.. Did your Win come at Any Cost to you?

It's the pathetic reality of so many who have ruined our economy.. and Lives in this Country.. Dan's Prize.. only 500K.. The other Crooks running this Country and Ruling the Banks.. get Hundreds of Millions.. ..

.. WHO Pays the Cost for all that?

Humanity pays the cost. Morals/ethics "good" values - have been under attack for a very long time - and now we are seeing the results of teaching a lack of ethics or proper regard for our fellow/neighbor/stranger/human.

All of the world is currently suffering for this loss of humanity this loss of good fellowship.

That teacher should loose his job and it be publicly announced. Won't change the fact that he may have profited on the game for his deceit - but it should not go unacknowledged that he has no faith in what he teaches - is untrustworthy.
