The height that a structure can achieve is limited by the strength of its foundation. Therefore, I suggest that university students should be provided with a strong foundation concerning the true nature of ethics, where they come from, the role that one’s ethics play in virtually all of life’s decisions and the benefits of living according to a personal set of ethical principles or form of ethical reasoning. Unfortunately, this rarely happens. Instead, students are often subjected to a sort of an informal academic and social regime that misinforms the students, and denigrates the value and the use of true ethical principles.
