People today are so much driven by their personal goals that civic sense as an expression of ethical behavior has become a low priority, almost a nuisance to those who disregard it as unnecessary evil. This attitude could be harmful for the society in the long run.

Parents, teachers and authors of management literature can do to a lot to assist this down swinging cooperation with Corporate Management.
