Ethics: Tuesday, August 31, 2021

[sith_happened]

"Hello," Anakin said, sweeping into the classroom with his cloak swooping behind him (and yes, he did practice to make it look cool. Shh.) "I am Anakin Skywalker, this is Ethics class, and you will sit down, shut up, and learn something."

It was best to set the tone early.

"Since it's the first week of classes, you may think that today will be about introductions, and it is, in a way. Our school is on a multidimensional nexus that brings beings of all ages and experiences together. So my question is a short one: do you think there are ethics? Is there anything universal in our standards of conduct that unites us across space and time?"

So starting out easy, Anakin.

He pointed to the student to his left. "You. Go."

“I think it would be hard to have universal ethics,” Jo said thoughtfully, “I suppose each culture and time has their own idea of right and wrong but they would be different ideals,” she paused, “like I’m from the 1950s and what we considered to be right and wrong then wouldn’t necessarily be the same as it is in 2021,”
