First, I find my day-to-day life goes better if I generally avoid <insert tragically long list of 'icky' things.>

I think in terms of my local radio station having 'safe' (when they do music) and 'unsafe' (when they do newscasts) times. I even have a little alarm thingy set to warn me.

Steven Covey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_7_Habits_of_Highly_Effecti... 'sliced up the world' this way. I think he calls it 'circles of concern':

= Things that I both care about and can control. Example: how much sugar I put in my coffee {as I was typing my alarm thing alerted me 'radio newscast in 2-minutes' Oh.}

= Things I care about but cannot control: Example: Local weather that I have to go out in.

= Things where I both don't care and can't control. Example: the color of a stranger's underwear.

Dorothy, for you and a lot of others, the Hockey Scandal is in the "care but can't control category". We >might< affect it by campaigning, petitioning, 'going out on the street', letter writing, gathering attention via social media, etc.

I'm not enough of a psychologist or a sociologist or a 'whatever' to have a good 'handle' on this:

It seems anytime there is a power imbalance, there is the possibility of abuse/exploitation, or the reverse, favoritism. Examples abound: priest/parishioner, teacher/student, human sexual dimorphism, employer/employee, doctor/patient, humans/animals, predator/prey or herbivores/plants (these last two are how biology & ecosystems 'work'.)

I know the USA Federal Government goes to extensive lengths to reduce, and to train employees 'away from' abuses.
