Deda | BS: Ethics of Opportunism (85* d) | RE: BS: Ethics of Opportunism | 05 Jul 10 |
Maslow's hierarchy of needs comes into play here. If your essential, basic needs (food, water, shelter) are not met, then you aren't going to spend time thinking much about ethics, laws, morals, or your own philosophy. If you are putting a lot of thought into finer ethical points of behavior, your own or others', then you most likely have a roof over your head and enough to eat, and enough security to turn your attention to abstract ideas. This isn't a matter of being hypocritical. |
