Code of ethics affects the behavior of individuals on behalf of the companies that employ them; many firms are adopting codes of ethics. As a business owner and an individual you are responsible for employees, customers/suppliers, the community, and society. Keeping this in mind should help in creating a code of ethics. With any business, if you dont have the support of these people then your business would probably fail. Here are a few things I would include in a code of ethics business, choosing to operate on an ethical level that is higher than required by law. All employees will act at all times with integrity. All employees will accept full responsibility for their work and actions; will always aim to improve both professionally and personally. Always act in a professional manner both with colleagues and customers. As an individual the golden rule would apply, “Do unto others as you would have them do onto you. This is why we new laws in society. Although people know better they may not always follow ethical principles, like I said before not everyone thinks the same about ethical issues. I also cannot stop people from committing unethical acts, but it can punish those who do. The previous employer could have told the new employer that he was discharged because he brought a gun to work and then could have been sued by the ex-employee himself. The more informed people are about ethical decision-making the better off the company will be. It all revolves around an individuals value system. In my opinion GM set aside this social responsibility because they didnt want to lose anymore more money on the recall then they already had. I feel an employer has a social responsibility to society itself to bring corporate behavior up to a level where it is congruent with the prevailing social norms, values, and expectations of behavior. As far as the corporate attorney that wants to conduct sexual harassment training just so the organization can say they did it, I totally disagree with this. The situation of the Florida man that brought a gun to work and shot several people and was discharged from his former job for bringing a gun to work is a more difficult situation. What some may consider unethical others may not.
In conclusion by reflecting the ethics I believe in I have conflicted feelings because I believe that some situations it is ethical to bring a gun to work however in many situations it is not. I am a firm believer that there should be no gun control in America and that having gun control violates our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms which makes gun control unethical. However I find it unethical for a person who bears arms to start shooting on innocent people for no reason at all. The only reason for a person to shoot is in self defense or in the need to hunt and get food for their families, as shown in “Sarah Palins Alaska.” I found it extremely unethical for the man who opened fired in
