Mary Davis reviews a BBC Radio 4 programme in which a group of twenty-somethings share their thoughts about morality
According to a recent Savanta ComRes survey on morality for the BBC, the thing that is most likely to define what you think is right and wrong is your age, rather than your background or whether you have a religion.
I was intrigued as soon as I heard this trail on Radio 4: a diverse group of young people would be debating what it means to live a good life and trying to come up with nine ‘moral maxims’ to live by. Diverse in terms of race, religion and background – but, as students and recent graduates, all the same age. Why Nine Truths rather than Ten Commandments? ‘Why not?!’ said radio and TV correspondent, Sima Kotecha, who chaired the discussion.
