What happen to human decency?


Listen Later

If you have read the news lately, then you will have seen that human behavior is not a pretty picture. Everywhere you look, there is a story about a person, who is a human being, doing something very disturbing.

We have been seeing an erosion of human decency for a very long time. In some ways it can be argued that this has always been the case, but the recent political climate in the US and the Brexit vote in the UK have brought the issue to a head. We will explore this issue in this blog and see what might be the underlying cause of this issue and get some ideas on how to fix it.

It is a place where people use anonymity as a shield to say things they would never say in person. It is a place where ideas can be exchanged and explored, but it's also a place where minds can be poisoned and twisted. This blog will explore why it's happening and what we can do to fix it.
