From the Paper:

"Cultural Values and Personal Ethics It seems odd to focus on personal values as an important part of the workplace. After all, personal values are by their nature quite intimate, and the workplace is a setting in which there are multiple individuals who each have their own personal standards and designations of what are ethical practices and what are not. This strongly suggests that there are multiple sets of personal ethics functioning within the same closed environment; as ethics and values differ between persons, this suggests a setting in which there is potential for conflict. There are, however, distinctions that can be made between personal, organizational, and cultural values. For example, I have strong personal feelings towards many social issues. Personally, I am in favor of a woman's right to choose, in favor of euthanasia for the terminally ill, and in favor of environmental policy and small business, among other things."
