Ep. 15 The Weekly: The Moral Spirit of the Age

<p><strong>In the second episode of our new weekly segment, Ryan reads through and comments on an article that he wrote on the state of contemporary morality during the turmoil and civil unrest of 2020. The original article was entitled, "The Moral Spirit of the Age."</strong></p>"<em>Does drinking a milk shake from an eco-friendly straw make me a good person? If I call someone from Spain 'Hispanic' rather than 'Latino,' does this mean that I am an individual of high moral character? Can eating fair trade chocolate singlehandedly validate and certify my moral integrity? If I only purchase goods and services from small businesses that are ethically faultless, does this make me a paragon of righteousness within my society?"</em><p><strong><em><br></em></strong><strong>About Ryan, Host of </strong><strong><em>Thinker Sensitive</em></strong><strong>:<br></strong><br>Ryan Ragozine is the host of <em>Thinker Sensitive</em>.
