We find that some people have some high morals and ethics. However, when they come across some typical conditions where they feel that their are not gaining anything or they are not going to land into some comfortable situation due to such ethics, they change their ethics.
Why do people change their ethics so easily?

Hi there Deserve!
People's ethics become flexible because of other factors such as survival, acceptance, and adapting to changes. It isn't always bad I believe.

I don't think that ethics should change so easily. If the ethics change frequently nobody would trust that person. I think that only in the 'forced major'circumstances the ethics should be changed.
When we accept that the ethics may change, we allow that the thinking and the actions of a person will keep changing according to time. So the question of 'fair'
or 'unfair' things will not occur at all.

I agree that it is sometimes survival or at least self preservation of some form that is the driving force to make people change their ethics. Most of the people I know who change either had bad ethics from the beginning and just needed a way to exercise that or some had good ethics but what they think are desperate situations have made them do things they would not ordinarily do.
