Each of Us Plays a Part

There is something deeply wrong with the moral culture of our society in this country. There has been an increase in hate crimes. There has been demonstrated a lack of belief in the value of human life. We say mean and terrible things about and to each other. Why? We believe it is a values issue. Perhaps we have become immune and put our head in the sand, assuming it is someone else’s job to fix the problem.

We must all come together to fix the problem. How? Let’s start by refusing to tolerate hate. By encouraging civility in every action. By demanding respect for all individuals. We must all take a hard look at our own values. We must come together and demand change. Firm owners and managers can take an active role in encouraging this change by defining and living their values—both personally and professionally. Give it some thought and ask yourself how you can make a difference.
