Issue 35 Volume 1
Welcome to another edition of the Week Lapse! In this week’s issue, we delve into two compelling topics that touch on different aspects of our lives: “Are We Really Becoming Less Ethical?” and “The Healthiest Cooking Oils.”
Are We Becoming Less Ethical?
Ethics, the guiding principles that shape our moral compass, are at the heart of every society. They influence how we treat one another, make decisions, and uphold our values. However, in today’s fast-paced and complex world, questions have arisen about the state of ethics and whether people are truly becoming less ethical.
Are People Really Becoming Less Ethical? When we read the news, it’s hard not to get depressed about the state of the world. Stories of vitriolic politicians, unethical CEOs, and indifference to the suffering of others fill its pages, leaving us feeling like goodness and morality are nowhere to be found.
According to a recent Gallup poll, people in the United States think that morality is at an all-time low. But, according to a new study, this belief is likely an illusion, based on the way our minds work — not a conclusion based on evidence.
