There is no question organizations will need to modify their behavior to attain both ethical and fiscal excellence. Many will need to change just about every aspect of their organization, from how they treat vendors and suppliers to how they compensate their employees. While this may seem like a daunting, or even impossible task, some ethically sound organizations have proven it can be done, and in fact, it can be the business model of the future. One of these exceptionally successful organizations is Starbucks.

They pay their coffee producers living wages, and call their employees "partners." This helps create a happier, healthier work environment that is more productive, but also more proactive and positive. Starbucks operates effectively and ethically, believes in strong social responsibility, and does not keep their beliefs a secret. Most people know Starbucks creates a seriously responsible business culture, and promotes wellness and happiness in all its business partners. The more they show it works, the more others may want to emulate their model. Starbucks proves a business can be ethically aware and still be wildly successful. Thus, more businesses should emulate Starbucks' example for all the right reasons - profitability, sustainability, and social responsibility.

Starbucks has proved that an ethical business model can be profitable as well. Today, ethical challenges seem to greet Americans every day. Politicians are corrupt, corporations are ravenous and dishonest, and people no longer trust the media or even many of their neighbors. It is time to create ethics in the community and in business. It can be done, and it should be done to ensure the future is not a nightmare, but a better place for our children, grandchildren, and those who come after.

Personal Ethics
Situation #1

In this situation, which involves a company complaining about another company, the values of honesty and time are reflected. The status indicated, where consideration should be given to the selling company because time is not an important factor in their culture, is quite disappointing and has changed my views.

Based on my point-of-view on ethics, any parties involved in a business transaction must respect the culture of the other party. Not because being on time is not essential to one's culture, would mean that they can continue with the culture they are used to. Being in a business transaction must involve the value of looking after what the other party or the client needs, as well as what can satisfy them. Moreover, in the situation, it is not a justifiable reason to make the other party wait for a machine specifically designed to do the job it called for.…...

Personal Ethics
A professional moral sense is an inward instrument for instance intuition and consciousness that offers guidance to individuals with regard to how they ought to behave and act in a professional environment. When the individual's moral or ethics clash with responsibilities of his or her practice, an ethical dilemma comes about. Ethical predicaments are often perceived in the nursing profession. Contemplation of personal ethics that are compelled by passion, inspiration, motivation and devotion gives direction to one's professional moral sense.

Personal Ethics Development
For an individual, group of individuals or even a business organization to succeed; it is necessary to come up with or develop well defined rules of engagement and behavior or set of ethics which are adhered to by each and every individual across the board. In most places all over the world, acts like making other people suffer (on purpose), stealing or even dishonesty are taken to be unethical. It is this view that informs the development of codes of conduct which are in some cases tailored to conform to specific cultural setups.

The Development of Ethics

According to Trevino and Nelson (2007), ethics can be taken to be those standards as well as norms and principles which govern the very conduct of an individual or several individuals. It therefore follows that well developed ethical standards play a critical role in group cohesion in addition to facilitating a harmonious working…...

Personal Ethics Development
Personal ethics are something that develop over time. According to Corey, Corey, & Callanan (2007) ethics originate or emerge "from what has occurred rather than from anticipating what may occur" (p.10). Ethics result from the desire to achieve and strive for what is in the better welfare and interest of the self and others. Ethical development stems from the standards and behaviors that develop when a person acts, reacts and grows based on the situations they experience as a part of their life. Ethics are the norm for the correct actions and moral behaviors a person takes in any situation, which form one's character, virtues and formulate one's sense of duty.

My underlying ethical system stems from my core values, which were shaped by my family and upbringing. I grew up believing that it was critical to obey your mother and father. These were ideals presented to me based…...

Personal Ethics Statement
I think personal ethics is simply what a person believes about morality and right and wrong. The Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI) I completed indicates that I believe rational thought and reason determine both the universal rules that each person should follow and the processes that assure fairness and justice for all. My core values show that I give autonomy and equality equal importance and individual rights need to be balanced with the well-being of the community. My classical values include individual balance and restraint in the desire for pleasure and social balance achieved through loyalty and consistency in dealings among members of the community, especially those without power. When it comes to problem solving I believe that gathering information and exploring options to find the one that will be the best solution. I pride myself on being responsible and doing what is fair. My word is my bond.

Personal Ethics Theory
For me, the concept of utilitarianism is the most compelling ethical philosophy. When we think about society, we think about what is best for the many, and/or does the means to the end matter more than the end results. This is the basic premise of utilitarianism and the offshoot, deontology. Using utilitarianism, the most ethical thing anyone, individual or society, can do is an action that, when completed, will maximize the happiness of the largest number of individuals, or of society or an organization. Actions have quantitative outcomes and the ethical choices that lead to the "greatest good for the greatest number" are the appropriate decisions, even if that means subsuming the rights of certain individuals (obinson and Groves, 2003). Deontology or duty-based ethics is from the Greek word "deon" meaning duty or obligation. This subset of utilitarianism helps us better understand the more pragmatic issues about the…...

Personal Ethics and Values
I believe that strong personal values more than anything else hold the key to happiness and success. The top three values that are the most important to me include caring about others, family unity and a good work ethic. As a wife, mother and a grandmother, my time spent with my family means more to me than anything else in the world. I consider my family to be my greatest achievement. I value caring about others because throughout my life I have a great deal of mentoring from others that has motivated me to be the best person I can possibly be. Encouragement from my own family, friends and educators had contributed to my work and personal success and happiness and I would like to return this debt to society. I also believe that hard work is necessary to be a good provider to one's family and…...

Business Ethics
At one time it may have been possible, if inhumane, to run a business like the obber Barons, on sheer fear, power and control. If a person incorrectly followed directions, made too many mistakes, or did not put in numerous extra hours, then he/she was expendable. Someone else could easily take that place in the factory.

In these days of quickly changing times and technology, increased globalization, international competition, and demanding customers and suppliers, managing with an iron fist does not bring the necessary results. A dog can be beat so many times before he bites his master. An insensitive and harsh employer can only push his employees so hard before they do their best to bring the company and its owner down. On the other hand, employees who are treated fairly, with empathy and respect will be loyal and work as a team to see the business succeed.

Similarly, during…...

Individual reasoning are as diverse as the people themselves hence there is need to have an identification of the reasoning trends for each person one engages in. However, of more importance however is the understanding one's own reasoning trend and reasoning skills that will help one fully understand how to undertake the academic duties that involve research work and presentations.

Learning one's own reasoning skills will allow the individual to know the areas where they are strongest at in terms of expressing views and critiquing concepts. In this manner, the person will be able to select the appropriate topics or areas of research that suits their capability to extract maximum useful information. Knowing ones reasoning skills will also allow the individual react to the challenges that may crop up during a presentation in the most appropriate manner possible.

Personal Ethical Responsibilities within Agencies1. Executive agencies and power of executive ordersa. Should or can an executive agency rebel against an executive order if the agents of that executive agency feel they have an ethical duty to do so?Technically and practically, it is impossible. An executive order issued by the United States president is a directive for the executive branch and has to be implemented by the government. Normally, given the formulating an executive order and the various professionals in the white house, an executive order will be ethical and legal. Thus, it will be required for the relevant administrative agencies to implement the orders. However, if an executive order is illegal, the many checks and balances in the US Governance system work to filter it out. For example, Executive Order 12954 issued by President Bill Clinton in 1995, which sought to stop the federal government from contracting organizations that…...

Because so many mortgage companies and lending institutions pass of the debts represented by their loans to third parties, there is little incentive to ensure that borrowers actually qualify for loans based on their income and credit history the way might where the original lending institution must absorb the cost of eventual default. Throughout the mortgage industry, practices evolved where realtors and mortgage brokers actively encouraged borrowers to misrepresent their financial circumstances to qualify for much more expensive properties than they could actually afford. Brokers who objected to this practice were subject to reprimand and even to dismissal from their positions, precisely because the moral rules within that vocational environment conflicted with objective values, not to mention federal law. Faced with similar circumstances, I would have no choice but to voice my objection, even at the expense of my position.

Janet should not really have a moral dilemma here -- she already knows she can't take the job. The dilemma is presented in a couple of ways. The first is the argument that Janet needs employment, and this job can give her the employment that she needs, and she must weigh this against her own convictions. In fact, that is not quite accurate in terms of framing. First, there are strict laws regarding the marketing of tobacco products to youth. The FDA is tasked with developing and enforcing these laws, as of 2009 in the Tobacco Control Act (NIH, 2015), and that includes a minimum legal age of 18 for the purchase of tobacco products, and a variety of restrictions on the promotion of tobacco products, including smokeless tobacco, to youth (NIH, 2015).

Ethics
According to the dictionary definition, ethics refer to the "set of principles of right conduct, or more specifically, "the rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession." Ethics and morals are closely related, but ethics is the term more commonly used in the professional realm, whereas morals generally refer to guidelines for personal behavior. Both ethics and morals are reflections of beliefs and values, which are held by individuals and collectively, by whole societies. The development of ethics therefore stems from social and cultural factors as well as from personal ones. However, a few ethical codes are nearly universal. Ethics are complex; in the business realm they may vary widely from sector to sector. No organization is completely immune to ethics, even if the organization has no formal ethical code. Professional decisions are made with regard to personal ethics or to the formal…...
