Moral Amnesia: why is toxic behavior acceptable?
We are in an ethical crisis. The affliction with many government leaders, companies, educational institutions and people is moral amnesia. Whether you are in a leadership role or not, the state of ethical behavior is under scrutiny.
Take the matter of a teacher watching two boys fist fight in a Texas classroom. The teacher does have a moral obligation and an ethical responsibility to prevent human suffering. After all, the teacher is a role model (or should be) and sets the standard. It does not matter what “the law” says. Is this teacher suffering from Moral Amnesia?
