Very relevant piece from Maureen Dowd in last Sunday's NY Times.
Dowd quotes from James Davison Hunter, professor at the University of Virginia and author of "The Death of Character":
"We've moved from a culture of character to a culture of personality. The etymology of the word character is that it's deeply etched, not changeable in all sorts of circumstances. We don't want to think of ourselves as transgressive or bad, but we tend to personalize our understanding of the good."
