ethics
I thought the discussion we have been having in class about ethics is a very prevelant issue in today's working world. Whether it is dealing with a specific situation or racial issues, it is best to be an informed employee and how to handle these problems correctly. As seen in the Jonah Creighton case, it is important to stand up for what you think is right, but if at all possible, without sacrificing your job. It is important to stand up for your beliefs because not too many people do when something they value is on the line. Part of being ethical is not compromising your beliefs when tested. I think this is one of the key elements that can be learned when studying ethics.

I agree that our ethics discussion in class was important to being an effective businessperson in today's business world. I also thought that the ethics discussion went well with the Jonah Creighton case because there were a lot of ethical decisions that Jonah had to make. Although his course of action was not ideal, I think that his heart was in the right place. I thought it was an important case to show to us that difficult decisions that will have to be made in the real world. In addition, I think it helped to start making us think about how we will go about making ethical decisions and how we would handle these situations.
