Issues of Responsibility in the Age of Popular

Ethical issues have gained a new meaning today, being aimed to structure the chaos of reality. Challenges humanity had been facing on its path are characterized by both continuity and change, and although scholars, artists, public intellectuals and all who are worried about the future are stating that our age has become the age of populism, to a certain extent this phenomenon is not something truly new. Populism, popular decisions, easy answers on complex questions, all these historical markers are not unknown. So, maybe we should not be as worried as we are, if we have learnt our lessons. Have we? Proposing “popular” solutions, politicians, bloggers, people with social capital, both established and aspiring, today forget not only about moral implications, but also do not consider the issue of responsibility. Personal aims form flows of discourse, simple becomes preferable in a competition with complex, and consequences are left, they are not taken into account. If dark days come because of the processes happening now, who will be the one responsible? There will be us left to blame each other, being lost in the haze of irresponsible discourses.
