From the Paper:

"The society in which we live shapes our ethics. They are also shaped by examples our families provide and are shaped by our moral codes. Ethical business decision-making has changed over recent generations, due to changes in political climate and other factors. Four decades ago, employees began shifting their loyalty away from employers, to focus on ideals. Two decades ago, corporate downsizing created many ethical challenges for business managers. Today, poor ethical decision-making has been held responsible for bringing down corporations. Throughout this process, the business world has established new codes and positions for dealing with ethical dilemmas, even up to a federal level (Ethics Resource Center, n.d.) Changes have occurred in moral strictures as well, even in the space of my lifetime. This paper is will address how I use my ethics in my decision-making process."
