What contributes to unethical conduct?
Introduction
Clark was the victim of a gunshot that hit him while at the backyard of his grandparents’ house. The event took place on the 18th of March. According to information from the Sacramento police the responsible officers were answering an emergency 911 call with information that a man had broken the window to a car in the area. The shooting and subsequent death of Clark is just one in a series of police shootings targeted at black men in recent times. The fatal force data suggests that 264 individuals have suffered the same fate as Clark since 2018 in the hands of police officers (Washington Post’s, 2018). Of the 264 fatalities, 57 of them were revealed to be black from the news reports. According to research there are evident racial disparities advanced by the police department in their use of force. Although most of these cases are associated with systemic bias and explicit bias, research studies conducted recently have identified the existence of specific factors such as high segregation in housing and inequalities in the economy as important factors in police shootings, where they occur and whom they affect (Lockhart, 2018).

Following the shooting the explanation given is that a police helicopter used to direct officers towards the suspect led them to Clark. Clark reacted by running for his house following a confrontation from the officers. Further, the police stated that Clark started running while his arms appeared to be holding some object (Lockhart, 2018). A different perspective from body camera video released by the police reveals that Clark was running away from officers who never identified themselves as police. Ethical concerns emerging from this issue is the truthfulness from the police against any attempt to cover up a fellow officer. Initial statements seemed to cover the mess that the police had indeed killed an innocent black man.
Secondly, body camera evidence show that police fired on suspicion that…
Unethical Leadership Leadership is not an inherited gift or a family heritage. Becoming a leader is a deliberate and planned process of personal and professional development that must be carried out experientially. It requires one to have the courage to say both "yes" and "no' to an everlasting chain of large and small tests. In order to become a true leader, one must be prepared to define his/her values, character, and
For example, this individual believed that where a conflict in law existed between two countries, instead of following the code of conduct that stated the more stringent law had to be followed, he followed the law of the country that the company or issue was located in. This was in direct violation of the company's code of conduct, but his behavior was not illegal or unjust because he was

There are too many factors that cannot be controlled. Children may develop inferiority feelings regarding their own specialness due to the choices of their parents. Many people who may be able to make contributions to society will more than likely be aborted. There is also the possibility that just because someone has a genetic trait for a malady, they may not even manifest such a condition. Additionally, the lack
