Ethics
In "After 'I'll Break You in Half,' Grimm Apologizes," Wheaton and Santora address the ramifications of ethical misconduct in the workplace. The issues addressed in this article pertain directly to the chapter on ethics in practice. The article describes Michael Grimm, a Tea Party Representative from Staten Island. He delivered "unusually vitriolic threats" to a reporter at the United States Capitol building, and the outburst attracted scorn (Wheaton and Santora). Since the outburst, Grimm has apologized, but the apology does not make up for the fact that the reporter's questions were related to a deeper type of ethical misconduct. In particular, Grimm is under investigation for campaign fundraising fraud. The allegations have thus far resulted in at least one arrest: that of Diana Durand "on charges that she illegally funneled more than $10,000 into his campaign," (Wheaton and Santora). At least one other member of Grimm's campaign fund raising team has turned himself in.

Grimm's campaign fundraisers have engaged in illegal behaviors, which is expressly unethical especially coming from a public official's office. As the text points out, no amount of peer pressure can justify an intern engaging in illegal activities, corruption, or misconduct. The difference in what the text discusses in relation to intern misconduct and what Wheaton and Santora discuss regarding Grimm's campaign finance misconduct is in matters of degree. Interns are not in a position of power like that of Grimm, and thus their power…

In this area the facilitators are the human resource personnel. The contribution of HRM to ethics in organization is widespread. Human resource management serves with models and theories to implement an ethical environment for the development of organization. First and foremost relates to performance management.

However, what does seem clear is that there are not sufficient ethical guidelines for the finance business. Kookmin Bank seemed very welling to address the issue of ethics. Rather than allowing employees to read and personally interpret ethical rules, Kookmin gave a very in-depth training to employees regarding those rules.

other values Moral character, that is, having courage, being persistent, dismissing distractions and so on in pursuit of the goal. These are attempts to define ethics by describing actions, and fairly specific constellations of actions at that. Frederich Paulson, a 19th century philosopher of ethics, defined ethics as a science of moral duty (1899). Almost 100 years later, Swenson also used the concept of study in defining ethics, saying that it included
