Marine and the Hippie 220305 S02E06- Trickle Down Ethics

The Marine and the Hippie

In this episode, we discuss the concept of Trickle down ethics, where the ethics of the person who sits at the top of an organization become the ethics of the lower down members of the organization. In the US, profit is the only motive for most activity, and that precludes concepts of justice in discussions about whether or not to tell the truth on the television or whether or not to go to war. That sort of ethic has been so imbued in our society that our politicians no longer feel the need to tell the truth, the media no longer presents anything but lies and things that satisfy advertisers and the people no longer expect decent or just policy from the government. The only way to reverse this trend is to replace the people who are put in place because they have money and are treated as moral with those who are concerned with justice.
