Breakdown in ethics and morals

TEXAS TROOPER ARRESTED WITH SUITCASES OF COCAINE

The breakdown in ethics and morals will lead to the downfall of society as we know it today. Look at the greed that took over wall street, greed took over Pilgrim's Pride and other such companies, and greed is a byproduct of the breakdown in ethics and morals.

"It cannot be said often enough that in the last resort competition has to be circumscribed and mitigated by moral forces within the market parties." More and bigger is not always the measure of success. Success is measured in many other ways; however, the pocket book became the measure of success in the US. Money is the evil that destroyed the ethical and moral upbringing of many in this country.

There can be no doubt that spiritual and moral traditions are handed down together along with the material foundation of life. Those with material foundations have an obligation to help bring up the future generation with spiritual and moral traditions. "Any privilege, be it a privilege of birth, mind, honor and respect, or of wealth, confers rights only in exactly the same measure in which it is accepted as an obligation." Material wealth brings with it an obligation of ethics and morals.
