Newsletter No 6/2022 - A call for ethics and values - a moment to pause and reflect
Author: Obiora Ike
Globethics.net exists to share global and ethical values beyond boundaries through education. We inspire our networks to greater collaboration for the building of both knowledge and ethical societies, for morality is the health of society. This is our vision and mission and it is more crucial than ever in times like these when manifold fragmentations of our world are happening just before our very eyes.
Such is the impact of integrating ethics in higher education that allows for diversity, respect, responsibility, human dignity, environmental care, inclusion, sustainable societies and the opening up of space for the capability of humankind towards a better world for everybody. George Orwell put it rightly thus: ”at a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”.
