Why Ethics? Why Now?

  • Because people, relationships, and the environment are more important than power, money, and technology.
  • Because humanity thrives by solving collective problems through collaboration and respectful disagreement.
  • Because basic human needs (food, clothing, shelter) are going unmet
  • Because we have vastly more in common with one another as human beings than we have differences.

Cooperation: Humanity’s Imperative

In a globalized world with finite resources and unprotected human rights, we must find alternatives to disparity, despotism, and violent conflict. Sustainability requires that we collectively distribute resources, wealth, and power more equitably.

At local and global levels, earth’s precious resources (e.g., water, oil, forests, & infrastructure) are squandered in wasteful political division. They instead require thoughtful stewardship.

Globalization imposes pluralism as an imperative — respect for the uniqueness and humanity of others. Tolerance of differences is a requirement, not an option. It can become a strength.

Ethnic & religious violence only breeds new generations perpetuating ancient stories. Bullies create more bullies.

Conversely, collaboration creates win-win outcomes, by simultaneously preventing violence and solving real-world problems.

This website is about getting along better with each other… everywhere.

The Mission of MyEthics

This work is about doing well by doing good. We are seeking ethical solutions to some of the tough problems of our time by thinking globally and acting locally. And we are not giving up on a civilized American society just yet.

How to Cultivate an Ethos

Ethically conscientious people pay attention to consequences, sincerity, and reliability. Listening attentively, they remember and attend to others, accept responsibility for mistakes, and approach relationships with calm focus, intelligence, and follow-through.

Furthermore, and for better or worse, each of us has an ethos — a unique way of moving through life — how we make it all work. Exercising our liberty to make the best decisions for ourselves. Thus we are individually accountable.

Similarly, every company has an ethos. The good ones are sustainable, responsible, and improve the quality of life. We offer resources to help people and companies earn respect, loyalty, and trust.
