The industrial revolution has tended to produce everywhere great urban masses that seem to be increasingly careless of ethical standards.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is a tone of morality throughout the rural districts of England, which is unhappily wanting in the large towns and the centres of particular manufactures.
Everybody knows that the industrialized nations are the worst offenders.
Nearly every country in the world is now becoming industrialized as rapidly as it can.
Morality in its noblest forms remains inexplicable unless one takes into account that power of growth in the human soul which has led generation after generation from lower religious and ethical standards to higher ones which often clash with worldly advantages.
I have always maintained that society has no business dictating morality.
Society is constantly recalibrating, redefining what it considers to be moral and immoral.
Business is always looking to avoid the toughest norms. But some do it in a civilized way, while others push it using uncivilized, brazen methods.
The great menace to the life of an industry is industrial self-complacency.
All around us are the consequences of the most significant technological, and hence cultural, revolution in generations.
In just about every area of society, there's nothing more important than ethics.
