Ethics in business addresses the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ behaviours of business practises, and how these practices impact the employees, shareholders, the general public and the environment.

Melinda has now involved Alex in a sex scandal, that could potentially affect the company and her career. Melinda should have informed Alex about the situation, before the situation escalated.

Alex needs to think about if Melinda is worth keeping. She has been causing issues that can impact the company, and their credibility.

You know of this patient’s strong beliefs and that he does not want to receive blood. On the admission sheet, the area for religion is blank. He has no family. The nurses and doctors want to give blood and you do not want him to die.

Creating and defining my own ethical framework is essential in future success as a businessman, a leader, and a team player.

I, Cheryl Boles was hired in June of 2007 under HM Yolanda Barfield. For the eight years that I have been working for this company I know my job description and what is expected of me. My work ethics speaks for itself. I haven’t had a complaint about my work performance in the eight years that I have been working here. I take initiative to do more than what is expected of me. I am strictly by the book when it comes to my job duties and the clients. I work every day that is scheduled for me to come in and I also come in to cover other shifts when asked. On the night of questioning, May 25, 2016, I Cheryl Boles arrived to work at promptly 9:30 p.m. I did my walk through as soon as I arrived.

Not only is Jessica a faithful Lutheran but she's also a medical assistant at a family practice clinic. Jessica faces a difficult situation one day at work. A woman and her young son walk into the clinic because her boy had fallen in the yard on a sharp object cutting his thigh. The mother lived next door, so it was easiest to bring him where Jessica worked. The poor boy is bleeding pretty badly from the cut of his thigh. Quickly they tied a tourniquet, meanwhile the medical assistant calls an ambulance to transfer the boy to the hospital so that he may be treated properly, and gets the care he deserves. While in the wait for the ambulance, the physician informs the boy's mother that her son is going to need a blood transfusion. The mother then states, “We are Jehovah Witnesses and do not believe in blood transfusions.”

In order to become a nurse I think it is important to be a virtuous person, because many situations will arise when working as a healthcare professional and nurses should be able to know what they find is morally the right thing to do. Everyone does not have the same definition of morality, since everyone is different and has a right to their opinion, but in regards to nursing, morality should be kept at a constant. Morals are hard to define and do not contain the same meaning to everyone, but as nurses we need to do what we think is the best for the patient. The four cardinal virtues include temperance, fortitude, prudence, and justice, which are integrated frequently in the healthcare profession, especially at a Catholic institution. Being virtuous is what makes a nurse unique among other roles of professionalism.

In today's world, individuals can make a single decision that can have a profoundly positive or negative effect on their family, their employer, coworkers, a nation, and even on the entire world. The life we lead reflects the strength of a single trait: our personal character. Personal ethics are different for each person but for the most part, people want to be known as a good person, someone who can be trusted, and he or she are concerned about his or her relationships and personal reputations. As we go through this paper, we will focus on answering what are ethics, what are your ethics, where do your ethics come from, and how do you manifest your ethics?

    The case “Does this milkshake taste funny?” presents a situation, where company employees  were confronted with an ethical decision.  Their thoughts and actions were shaped by several factors,  including their personal moral values and the corporate culture engendered by the management of the  company for which they work.  This case provides an example of how a lack of a code of ethics or ethical  training within a corporation can lead to negative consequences.    The major players in the case are the night shift employees of Eastern Dairy, and the  management of this company that set up the rules and expectations for the night shift.  The background  and the ethical situation

In their personal and professional lives, people can and, unfortunately, sometimes do go against their moral and ethical standards. Ethical standards are what it means to be a good person, the social rules that govern our behavior. Ethics in business is essentially the study of what constitutes the right and wrong or the good or bad behavior in the workplace environment. A business is an organization whose objective is to provide goods or services for profit. The organization has a group of people that work together to achieve a common purpose. The moral challenges that these men and women face each day along with a whole range of problems that could occur, are why ethics plays such an important
