<p>[QUOTE=&quot;faceglider, post: 1261256, member: 32190&quot;]Well, ethics is personal I believe; personal in the sense that there is a question that one asks themselves reasons why they themselves believe something to be right or wrong.&nbsp; Morality is different, of course.&nbsp; At the local coin meeting last night, someone put up a set of Nazi stamps with Adolf Hitler on them for auction.&nbsp; My personal ethics would not allow me to place a bid on them.&nbsp; It just felt wrong to me personally to collect and pay for something with that man&#039;s face on it. But, I also agree with what you said.&nbsp; History, and remembrance should be preserved and not forgotten.&nbsp; Otherwise we are living in &#039;Omelas&#039;.&nbsp; &#039;Omelas&#039; is an ethical thought experiment that tells an allegory about people who live harmoniously in an utopic society, but they would not be able to live in such a society if it weren&#039;t for the one child hidden away in a closet who suffers tremendously and is treated like an &#039;it&#039;.&nbsp; In other words, the allegory questions those who live in a society&nbsp; who turns a blind eye to the horrors that go on in the world.&nbsp; In my opinion, that is immoral (to turn a blind eye).&nbsp; So to answer your question, I believe it to be morally good, but ethically questionable. I hope that makes some sense.&nbsp; I am currently taking a class on Ethics (albeit, I&#039;m in the third week of class). Ethics is, afterall, a questioning of values or rules in society.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
