Ce ție nu-ți place altuia nu-i face: Despre regula de aur în pandemie
Do not do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you: On the golden rule during the pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The paper develops on John Rawls ‘golden rule’ and applies it to the current pandemic situation. In doing so, it starts with the presentation of a trivia case to illustrate the double standard we tend to apply when it comes to our actions as compared to the others’. We always ask to others to obey the rules, while we consider ourselves smart enough to decide on a case by case basis. This kind of attitude has a special effect when the persons ignoring the rules are exactly those who issued them. The paper tries to address the concern that following the rules should be a way of life and, in the same time, to suggest that rules should emanate from bottom to top (meaning they need to have a reasonable explanation to the public) rather than being imposed from top to bottom.
