The period is not the best ... the crisis will last very ....
These are two phrases that you hear too often in recent times. Such statements are accompanied by those who think that there is no crisis, or rather that the crisis is not economic. Some say that if there is a crisis, it's moral crisis.
To avoid the risk of speaking lightly of crisis and morality and not to be part of those who profess morality without understanding it, I entrust myself to a very simple instrument of information, a dictionary of the Italian language.
The crisis is a "momentary, sudden and violent manifestation of ...". Morality refers to human acts and thoughts to the good and evil, morality, comply moral principles. If we assume
to accept these definitions then we should change our approach to the subject that affects us so much, and involves in the first months of 2009.
Morality is an individual perception of good and evil, some people will say that probably suffers the conditioning of the experience of each, education, cultural level, the social / economic / territorial when it is based. Morality is subjective and experience, so it can not be in crisis because the crisis is temporary, as we have seen. All we can say that in our society there is a moral deficit because, although subjective, some values \u200b\u200bare associated in a shared good, other evil, are an example of the laws that define the boundaries between licit and illicit, between good and evil. Subjectivity is the fact that many rules or laws are not always considered, and everyone, right. It is also clear that non-observance of rules, laws, is amoral, but it is not the crisis of established behavior. The difficult times undoubtedly accentuate the removal of some rules, but affect more people with a predisposition, who has a different moral perception. I do not think that absenteeism from work in public administration or labor exploitation in the private sector are attributable to moral crisis history tells us. Yet I am convinced that this, as well as a business culture very low and very high levels of beggary, depends on what we now call mistakenly crisis. The economic crisis is not here, there is a financial difficulty that lasts for some time now, at least ten years, so there is no crisis. At this time there has been a gradual contraction of certain productive sectors of the country and I think it's hard to think that he had no perception. I do not know how it comes out, surely someone will replicate their experience bankruptcy, someone else will try to gradually build its own path, some more will continue to profit at the expense of the disadvantaged.
