#56 Appreciation: Ethics

Ethics, a typical academic term... Yet, I cant find any word to make a replacement.

Ethics is different from moral, as the boundary of ethics is much more vague and debatable because the view of right and wrong is depending on the society and the outcome of it has much impact on the community.

I would be delighted if public view and act along with my opinion, but it doesn't mean that it is wrong or illegal if it is against. Talking about the recent issue that bothers me a lot is about unpaid work and underpaid wages. Being a newbie to the whole new career world, where the employment market is not as "bullish" as it suppose to be, thus higher labour supply. Company starts off with providing minimum pay, then decide to underpay the "employees" due to more labour supply and leads to now, providing a program where fresh grads need to pay to join the program just to secure an unpaid internship without guaranteeing future employment after 'internship'.

Is it legal for company (middle person) to initiate such program? Nope, is not illegal. In fact, is an entrepreneurial idea, entrepreneurs who saw and seized the opportunity. Yet, the fact where providing free labour to a company by charging the 'labour' a sum of fees... To me, is an oppressive act and it just merely taking advantage of fresh grads.

The message here is: despite how frustrated I am on a certain issue, the world couldnt be bother if this is not what being viewed by the society. If one morals aligned with the ethics, it would be less bothersome and much happier life one could live. Is either you change the world or you adapt with it or you get out from the zone.
