Helikoptermoral

Moralin forte: The globalized consumer society is plagued by chronic fears. It wastes more than can be replenished, awakening the envy of the have-nots and the terror of the offended. These fears manifest in hyperactivity, whether through excessive zeal or through disproportionate, wasteful reactions to constructed dangers. Like its counterpart, the helicopter parents, helicopter morality has always been present, always ready to take a stand. It does so with much noise and quick judgments, aiming to manage the swift emotions of fear and anger that dominate in the face of an uncertain future in a complex world. It is no longer about a well-functioning morality that governs coexistence, but about the final judgment, values inflated to superlatives beyond all reality. Striking statements about right and wrong, about good and evil.
