The “I Deserve It” Generationw A large segment of young people can be described as the “I Deserve It” (IDI) generation, whose IDI-ology is preoccupied with personal needs, wants, don’t wants, rights and entitlements.
w The IDI worldview results in a greater willingness to ignore traditional ethical restraints in the pursuit of personal goals.
The IDI Creed
“Whatever I want, I need. Whatever I need, I deserve. Whatever I deserve, I have a right to have — and I’ll do anything to get it.”
Our world is a fast-paced survival-of-the-fittest working zoo where the fast on their feet survive while the ethical perish. Successful people in any profession make the necessary steps, moves, and decisions to get the job done. They separate ethics from duty. You must do the same.
What Is Ethics?
Definition:
Ethics is standards of duty and virtue that indicate how we should behave. Ethics is about right and wrong and how an honorable person should behave. Ethics is a code of values that guide our choices and determine the purpose and course of our lives.
Ethics Is Often About Self-Restraint.
Not doing what you have the power to do. Not doing what you have the right to do.
Not doing what you want to do. There is a big difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.
Good Decisions are Rational, Not Rationalizations
Rational decisions are the result of a careful reasoning process evaluating the effectiveness and ethics of options.
Rationalizations are stated reasons developed to justify decisions the decision maker wants to make or has already made.
