Life in the Balance: exercises in ethics

A society devoid of ethics, is not a society… it is merely a group of opportunists, waiting to pounce. Ethics should not be some dry academic study. It should be the guidepost by which we choose to live. Our reward for making that choice, collectively is a society that is safer, more benign, more profitable and ultimately more free than one which does not. Just like so many other things in our lives, Ethics require exercise to become stronger. The purpose of this book is to encourage people to ponder and debate how they might better approach the complex moral dilemmas that life throws at us.
