Welcome to the first edition of the Everyday Ethics Newsletter. Every Friday, we will explore ethics in both its conventional and overlooked forms. From corporate decision-making to food waste ethics and AI ethics, this series will challenge how we think about responsibility, fairness and doing the right thing.
Ethics is a broad term that simply refers to how we decide what is right and wrong. It shapes our personal choices, business decisions and the way society functions. While some ethical dilemmas are obvious, others hide in plain sight.
Food waste policies often drive food insecurity while benefiting corporations that profit from excessive food replacement. AI is developing faster than we can regulate it, raising questions about bias, surveillance and who is responsible when algorithms make decisions. Sustainability efforts aim to protect the planet, but do they always consider human well-being?
This week’s question: “Is it truly an ethical choice if the path was chosen for you?”
Each week, this newsletter will break down an ethical issue in clear, practical terms. Some topics will be well-known while others will challenge assumptions about what ethics means in today’s world.
Next week, we will explore different ethical theories and how they shape decision-making. Subscribe and be part of this important conversation.
Think. Choose. Be.
