| I'd add: - Anyone who works for or supports militaries who wage aggressive wars or military actions. Arguably, depending on your stance on pacifism, anyone who works for or supports the military at all. - Anyone who supports torture or "intensive interrogation". - Anyone who helps to imprison people for victimless crimes, or otherwise supports the injustices of the legal system. - Anyone who works in or supports unsolicited advertising which tries to manipulate people in to buying junk they don't need, often lying in the process. - Anyone who works to support the security, surveillance, or police state aparatus. Given certain viewpoints these are ethically indefensible. From other viewpoints these can be not only ethical, but righteous. A lot depends on where you're coming from and what your politics are. Unfortunately, I don't think most people care or think much about the ethical implications of their work or what they do. And if they do think about it, they usually just throw up their hands and say there's nothing they can do about it, or everyone else is doing it and if they don't do it somebody else will, or that they got to make a living somehow, or that at least they're not doing something even worse, or that they were just following orders. The excuses, even in the rare cases when people recognize there might be an ethical problem with their actions, are legion. |
