Ethics and Morality
What has happened to moral values in our times? There has been lots of buzz about the lack of such. Where do we learn our code of ethics, our upbringing, our religion, education and example set by our influencers?
Each of us certainly should maintain a personal code of ethics but also a professional code of ethics. I applaud Dean David Mielke at EMU School of Business for his institution of Ethos Week. Students at EMU will have the opportunity to hear various speakers on the topics of business ethics.
What is also sad at the same time is that this subject even needs to be addressed. What has happened to moral fiber and values of our society?
One of my staff, when discussing this issue said this is “capitalism on steroids.” The pervasive thought is that you can have anything that you want and it does not matter how you achieve it.
Perhaps it is time for each of us to think about how we can turn the current direction of society and make ethical issues of high importance.
