Social Ethics

Is our food system broken? How can we get fresher, healthier foods to areas that need it, such as Metro Detroit?

What is your favorite form of protest? And what cause would you go to jail fighting for?

Is it worth giving up a little bit of privacy if it means our culture can have a free and more open exchange of information online?

We often see relationships develop that defy our logic. People come together who don't belong together. Who should we stay away from, and who should we run to? What makes for good and the bad relationships?

Some gifts we wish we could give back. What is the worst gift you have received in your life? What made it so bad?

Tell us the greatest gift you ever received during the holidays, or any other time.

New technology brings new questions to the table about what is appropriate communication between students and their teachers. Should they communicate online? And if so, what are the guidelines?

A friend wrote me with a tough question: what do we call today's under-40 aged group? The aging hipsters, the quasi-yuppie lost generations in their 20s and 30s? Since college, they don't know who they are or what to call themselves any more. What is a good defining term for this large portion of the population?

Divorce rates running rampant. Custody in question. Are there fundamental changes we could make to improve the institution of marriage?

Design the perfect family. Who are they, and what could you do to help them live the best life?

• How many children?
• Where do they live?
• Do you redesign the marriage too?

Give us your thoughts.
