That isn't to say there aren't some good people who care very much, but in my opinion, they are the minority. The majority stand to the side and say, "Oh my, isn't that awful." Then they don't do anything nor say anything publicly.Dr. AnnMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741371839260099343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-1375224095092601582016-02-18T21:54:37.568-08:002016-02-18T21:54:37.568-08:00Goog evening AnnMaria !

In 2004 in the country just north of you, we heard that a national team judo coach had been suspended days before the start of the Athens olympics. Sure enough ,was about sexual crimes involving minors. Now , among other stories , we heard he told a 15 year old judokate " Hey you ! You sleep with me tonight because you don't move ! " . Isn't there a code of conduct ? Adults let that guy take charge of minors without supervision ? Chaperons ? <br /> He is now a convicted fellon for events that happened over a long period. How did the judo world react when this became public in '04 ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701090888900135441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-38454890181134831512016-02-17T21:37:22.366-08:002016-02-17T21:37:22.366-08:00Great post.

Humans are social animals and it is often hard to do the right thing. This Atlantic article discusses contexts in which it's hard to do the right thing, in particular in the context of VW.<br /><br />http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/01/what-was-volkswagen-thinking/419127/<br /><br />"People will favor decisions that preempt short-term social discomfort even at the cost of heightened long-term risk."<br /><br />The article continues with "This reaction isn’t excusable. But it is predictable," which is exactly what I'd think about it. I just have to hope that when it's hard, I can do the right thing.plamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13926880362592320071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-11856205529046798092016-02-14T17:59:44.857-08:002016-02-14T17:59:44.857-08:00Very true, Buck.Very true, Buck.Dr. AnnMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741371839260099343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-54357625724561160722016-02-14T17:45:22.617-08:002016-02-14T17:45:22.617-08:00soo true.
