not in business, business is business, money always has and always will cause corruption, we all have to fight to survive and to feed our families and I will do whatever it takes.

There is a lot of hate, ignorance and injustice in the world. That's why I want my kids to grow up to be lawyers so that they can make a buck off of it.
Tyhis is far more reaching than business. Less poeple are showing the common to open a door for a woman, to admit when your wrong and to tell the truth.
Well if you do three things everyday chances are someone will like you
1.Open the door for a lady
2.Walk on the right side of corridors and passages.
3.Say hello to people.
not a lot to ethnic minorities
Guest_0b5f5 You suck. Both of my sisters are from the slacker generation and are go to recieve doctor degrees.
This is overreaction. People have always complained about " lack of morals " and " how it was better before " centuries after centuries.
Morals still matter. It's just that I go by my own morals, which are different from everyone else's.
you're possessed by the Devil. Real morals are absolute, go read your Bible!
That's a tough question ... I believe they still matter, but have interpretted the question as "Does Society act as if they still matter," in which case I voted No.
Formal Game Theory has an excellent theory as to why this is: If you have two types of people -- Cooperators and Competitors -- and graph the mathematical results of their interaction (Four square box, one column and row for each) we find that:
Cooperators and Cooperators: Gain a result better than either could achieve alone.
Competitors and Competitors typically gain less than either could achive by themselves, as the other tries to undermine/attack and resources are spent defending.
The interesting part comes in Cooperators with Competitors: The Competitors win BIG -- much bigger than mutual Cooperation, because it is at the Cooperator's expense. The Cooperator loses big.
Society, and its current glorification of Business Competition (especially in the US) seems to have embraced this concept: Don't be a Cooperator because you will get suckered. Plus, it is better to be a Predator than to be risk being Prey.
Sadly, this has given us a Society of Predators and Parasites.
it's all evolution in an anthropological context with a dash of post-modernism.
