First conclusion
It is
common to find well-intentioned people showing their passionate defence
of one value or another. Some political parties advocate
responsibility, others equality, etc. However, the laws of nature tell
us we cannot consider these values separately, as neither forces nor
symmetries are available “à la carte”! We may not choose them according
to our mood or inclination. All symmetries are inextricably linked, as
are all forces. Therefore, equality, fairness, reciprocity, solidarity,
truth, proportionality, responsibility, freedom, etc., are
interdependent values which only become ethical values when acting
together. A boss can not be responsible if he does not act in a
proportionate manner. How can healthy relationships be maintained when
reciprocal behaviour is unfair or unequal? Let us pursue our study of
ethics and its multiple forms.
