Scholarly published work to understand world events is a potent force in learning to improve the human condition. However, which points or criteria are important in interpreting these events are often less than clear. Given the significant societal changing events of the past year that challenge human dignity and values (e.g., pandemic, storming of US Capitol, Black Lives Matter), Human Resource Development (HRD) or cognate field scholars have a responsibility to study these phenomena in ways that uphold the ethics and standards of academic research (Russ-Eft, 2018; Werner, 2016).
