Curious Distinction
The scam artist who bought kids' ways into name universities now says he knew what he did was wrong but he didn't think it illegal. That is situational ethics and a departure from moral standards. It should be a lesson to all that skating to the edge of legality is dangerous. There are PR practitioners who believe that what one can get away with is OK. They cover their tracks and spin their way through tough situations. President Trump's press secretaries are notable for that, and Trump himself is a man without ethical standards other than what benefits him. That is a gauge of a sociopath and is dangerous to society at large. Trump is not alone in that stance. Many CEOs, politicians and other leaders are out just for themselves. They are impossible to serve without compromising oneself, and when they fall, they take their followers with them. It is a dangerous game to communicate and act without a moral compass.
