#013: Why ethics & morality are important – Felicity Mashuro

By Jordan Michaelides

Felicity Mashuro ( @Flick_01 ) is a human rights advocate, with a special interest in Women’s Development. In this click-first, think-last world I felt that it’s important to investigate and understand how to build principles around topics of morality and ethics. This is crucial to identifying the difference between what is right, and what is wrong. The truth to certain topics is incredibly important in this modern era, particularly as globalism and technology affects our political and social landscape – giving rise to trends such as populism.

We covered a few topics including:

  • Immigration and refugee law
  • Convincing those who are anti-immigration
  • Her guiding principles
  • Income inequality
  • Feminism
  • Morning rituals
  • Mindfulness
