This week we discussed several ethical issues in class that relate to how we should look at ethics in the business world. I think all of these examples serve to show us that if we have to beat around the bush when describing any activity, and if we can't look what we are doing in the face, then there is a good chance it is not ethically sound. A person shouldn't have to try and hide what is really going on with terminology and euphemisms.

When I enter the workplace, I hope that I can be honest with myself and with others about what I am doing. I think that first if I can live with what I am doing and second if what I do does not negatively affect others in an unnatural way, then this will for the most part let me know I am being ethical. Sometimes, it can seem better in the immediate time period to do something unethical or cheat in order to gain an advantage or accomplish some goal. However, long-term full disclosure will always pay off. Playing by the rules of ethics in business is always best.
