Focus: The Good

Celebrate the good things that happen in the world! Why would we want to sit around and troll through bad news? Surely is can't be good for our psyche. By highlighting and talking about inspiring, good stories we believe we can combat sensationalized 24-7 news. Media companies have stories to draw eyeballs in. What does it mean to be good? My first reaction when asked, "What is 'The Good'?" is to say it depends on the individual you ask the question because everyone has a different idea of what it means to be good. To me it seems logical that 'The Good' is subjective, open to anyone's interpreation.

it is fairly easy to argue that what is good is subjective. However, Plato also thought about what good is. Plato was trying to define something a little bigger. He was trying to conceive of an ultimate Good. Of course, this was 2400 years ago and attitudes have changed.

We might not be able to agree that there is an ultimate good for everyone on the earth because different cultural backgrounds will require different behaviors. For example, Americans think a blonde girl in a bikini is the greatest, but other folks from more conservative cultures will think she is not respectable.
