Ethics is a very important aspect in the world today, It allows us to stay within a system and live in a functional society. This particular aspect is especially important in the business world because ethics is what allows the business world to stay fair and just for everyone involved. However, based on the article that I just read, it is depressing to see that not everybody possesses this morale code of ethics. It is true that the article talks about how the government is trying to find ways to help the workforce with their health issues, but this just shows that companies do not help their employees enough. With that in mind, we see that some companies use unethical means to maximize their profit, this is a sad fact that is present, not only in America, but all over the world. I understand that one of the main goals of a business is to gain profit and to maximize it. However, personally I feel that every business should still take into account the ethical implications that their actions will have on all their stakeholders. It may be more difficult, but a business that follows an ethical code is one that is respected by all.
