In our modern world we tend to be flexible, adaptable, busy, successful. But sometimes we are witnesses of injustice against other people or we hear or read morally problematic assertions, also denigration. How should we react, and how can we educate a young generation to motivate willingness to stand up in such situation and to protest or to act?
These are important questions that need to be resolved. We try to discuss similar questions in a different (economic) context: https://www.researchgate.net/project/Herausforderungen-fuer-das-Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement-Globalisierung-Digitalisierung-Geschaeftsmodelltransformation
On the situation in Germany, which I know better than the situation in other countries due to my background (which probably also applies to you): I think we have already made some progress in terms of willingness to act. However, we have shortcomings in a question that must be answered beforehand, namely the identification of injustice and problematic assertions. Particulary the latter raises the question of when something represents freedom of expression and when this expression is actually problematic. One's own political viewpoint cannot be a conclusive criterion here, especially if it tends towards the extreme left or right side of the political spectrum.
In my view, it is essential to give a serious education about personal quality including personal character, personal management, and personal key success factors. Personal character is about morality or civility and it is the extent one maximizes virtues and minimizes vices. Without developing personal quality within us we will not be able to perform in the way that is not harmful to us, others, and the society and that is useful for us, others, and society.
