Beloved readers,
I would like to share my plans for summer writing with you!
Morality is a topic that will never be exhausted. It is a topic that has been explored throughout time in literature, religion, music, theatre and philosophy. The basis of what morality is has been established in a myriad of ways, but I believe that over time, humanity has lost a sense of our individual morality. This summer, I plan on writing a series of weekly pieces that explores this topic, trying to find an answer to the question:
Where is our morality?
By "our," I am not referencing a specific generation, culture or nation. I am referring to our world as a whole — where is the morality of humanity? I intend on finding the answer to this question by exploring common areas where morality is concerned in our modern world; areas such as politics, the medical field, economics, religion and the media.
Where do our allegiances lie? Do we answer to ourselves, to our community or to a higher power? Have our practices involving morality changed throughout time? Are certain parties or political figures more in touch with their own morality than others? How does the influence of Big Pharma affect our medical practices, research and developments? How does religion impact cultures and what they value around the world? To what extent does the media impact how we make decisions, and what does the impact look like? These are a sampling of the questions I look to explore with this summer series of articles.
Each week, I plan to write a new chapter hoping to answer one of these questions. The purpose of these articles is to spark conversations, get people interested and, most importantly, provoke personal thought. Share these with your friends, colleagues and family, and start conversations of your own. I invite you to join me in this journey, and maybe you too can learn something about yourself and the world around you.
