Scholarly Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: Axiology, the theory of ethics, needs to be considered praxologically, behaviourally.§Beginning with the Fortune 500 corporate scandals and the following global financial crisis ethics has resurfaced, as it did and does in all civilizations past and present.
