Opis

Individuals are often told to behave ethically and to 'do the right thing'; however, there are not often discussions about the potential personal costs if one chooses to act and/or behave ethically. The impact of addressing unethical activities can lead to individuals who are chastised, isolated, retaliated against, and more. These potential consequences can be powerful motivation to prevent impacted individuals and others from taking action to resolve questionable and/or unethical issues. Individuals, organizations, companies, and societies have a responsibility to encourage and enforce ethical actions and/or behaviors, along with ensuring that those who review, report, and/or resolve ethical situations are protected from unwanted unwelcomed, and unnecessary attacks. This book details the components of ethics, the types of ethical issues, case studies based on actual events, critical thinking questions, and recommendations to address questionable and/or unethical issues, along with guidance to ensure and enforce ethical compliance. Ethical actions and/or behaviors are normally pretty clear; although, the real issue with ethical compliance is generally related to individual interpretation. Therefore, while confronted with an ethical dilemma ... what will you choose to do?
