A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

You can break the law and not do anything wrong.

In fact, there are laws which most people would agree are wrong not to break. Legality and morality/ethics are not the same, not defined by the same peoples and if anything are growing more and more separate. You and I don't play any real part in designing the laws, they are not some liberal-democratic 'will of the people' as I've seen lots of people elsewhere saying. They are the dictatorship of the politicians, and more so, of the mega-wealthy class that own them.

This is what happens when universities stop offering ethics in their courses

If you want professionals to not give a shit about ethics, call one of the courses "Ethics in [career]". It has to be ingrained throughout education (let alone society). Universities are not the cause of this delusion, they're a small part at best of a greater problem. Mass media, for example, has more educational influence.
