Why Ethical Observer?

An observer follows events closely and comments publicly on them.  Ethics is the study of human conduct, the rightness and wrongness of the motivation for such conduct. Television news, printed newspapers, online blogs all seek information on what happens.  We often read about the situation daily and bombarded with it until a new event occurs on the horizon.

The collection and reporting of facts has brought the downfall of governments, religious leaders, and economic entities.  So why another voice in the wilderness clamoring to be heard?  This blog shall seek to look at human conduct from many sides not one sided that is often used to sell subscriptions, increase readership, or seek recognition.  The writers of this blog and those who comment on this blog will adhere to the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists (http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp) and the Code of Ethics for Bloggers, Social Media, and Content Creators (http://designisphilosophy.com/code-of-ethics-for-bloggers-social-media-and-content-creators/).

Authors for the Blog Posts will be invited to post on this blog and will be allowed to post views that may not represent the poplar views of the day.  Authors will be asked to write about events based on verifiable facts. Authors are asked to use logic in development of the their posts that is free from prejudicial and inflammatory judgements.  Posts should be free of  "Political correctness".  

May this blog be used to open our eyes, open our hearts, open our ears, and  inflame us with the desire for truth.
