Now this quote perfectly sums up today's society:

"The problem is today's social norms are basically the social norms of adolescent males, not of adult human beings." -- Edward L. Queen II of Emory University's Center for Ethics.

This quote is from an insightful article on CNN's website, "Seeking the Truth in an 'American' Controversy," about journalism and ethics. The whole article is a great read:

Thanks for sharing.
