Is Immorality Our Default Mode? | IdeaFeed | Big Think | Science News | Scoop.it

We are slow to confront our inherent moral faults—or completely blind to them—because doing so opposes our notion of the dignity of human nature. We seem particularly susceptible to a slow erosion of morals, which was the case at Penn State as the football program gained more and more power within the University. But while we hesitate to act morally, we are not bound by our initial disinclination. Research also shows that if we learn to spot moral dilemmas before they occur, we are more likely to make the right decision.
