pertaining to this arguement which word you use is kind of irrelavant. Definitions aside, wouldn't it be true that your morals would dictate what your ethics would be. Regardless, whoever posted a sign of our decaying ethics/morals could be seen in our acceptance of casual sex and dating might be interested to know that this isn't a new revelation. During the height of The Inquisition, as well as for many years before and after, wealthy nobles, and members of the Vatican, put mistresses up in expensive villas where they would entertain their friends. They also fathered illegitimate children. The ruler of Florence towards the end of the Italian Renaisance was the illigetimate son of an illegitimate son of one of Cosimo Medici's sons. I forget which one.
Let's fast forward to the 1950's, which many would say was the last generation to show respect to who they date. Although it wasn't the norm, adultery and pre-marital sex were not uncommon. It just wasn't talked about. Are we, today, less ethical because we are open with our sexualality? Or are we just less hypocritical?
