this is a subjective measure (there are infinitely many ways of specifying various ethical "rules" -- what I aim to describe here is how an individual's actions indicate contempt for other citizens of the  planet (to take a personal example, by buying cheap clothes made by sweatshop labor somewhere or by burning too much gasoline commuting in a huge oversized truck))  --- of course getting accurate date is quite tough, as people are going to instinctively hide their own hypocrisy
