Thinking ethically is required in order to make an ethical decision. Ethics is not just about imagining a better situation or a better version of yourself, rather it is about acting and finding sustainable ways to make decisions. For this discussion, review (https://www.scu.edu/ethics/ethics-resources/a-framework-for-ethical-decision-making/) Read through the document, paying close attention to the framework offered, while also considering the section on “What is NOT ethics.” Then read through the ethical standards. While this is not an exhausted list of ethics nor is there a singular business definition of ethics, this is a starting point for applying ethics in the workplace.
Reflect on the framework and the short guide offered. Does it make sense? Are the items listed as standards accurate? How about the areas that are NOT ethics, do they make sense? Can you think of a time when you have experienced a situation that one of these content areas was considered ethics? How about a work situation that clearly articulated an ethical standard?
