I probably have seen the movie Fiddler on the Roof half a dozen times. Along with Guys and Dolls, that great Damon Runyan tale about Nathan Detroit and the Boys, it is one of my favorite musicals. It is not the song “Sunrise, Sunset” that I like, however, it is the opening theme that repeats throughout the play, where Tevya cries out, “Tradition! Tradition!”
A wonderful thing is tradition. In December, we tend to think a lot about traditions.
This past spring, your resident image-smasher again had an opportunity to conduct an eight-week seminar at Emory University, called 21st Century Ethics. Ethics in the 21st century are no different than ethics in any other century. It often boils down to determining the most responsible option from among several available options, generally the one that will do the least harm. Everyone has his own definition, of course.
