Ethics

Ethics & Values
  * Values:
  * Set of beliefs that determine the behavior of each member and what an organization stands for
      * These behaviors are put into action when a problem occurs in an individual’s daily life whether it is at work or with family members.
      * The behaviors of the individual differ between what they believe is morally correct and what is thought to be wrong.
        * Everyone has a different set of values or they could be the same just in a different order of importance.
        * Overtime we begin to change those values in such a way so that they meet our personal and professional desires and needs.

  * Ethics:

  * Set of standards that one follows due to what they value personally or in a business
  * As David Straker stated in Changing Minds "... behaving ethically is to behave in such a manner that is consistent to what you truly believe in"

      * Distinguishing between good and evil in the world & between right and wrong human actions
              * Business:
                    * applying ethics to any problem that arises in a business environment
