Names that are part of one mailing list can be sold to other mailing lists as well. People worry when this happens. People spend time writing personal e- mails instead of work. Employers become very concerned. What do these two things have in common?

Ethics-is a set of moral principles by which people conduct themselves personally, socially, or professionally. Business Ethics- is a set of guidelines about how a business should conduct itself.

March 26, 1911, 146 workers mostly Eastern European women – died in a fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Company in New York City. *One of the worst industrial tragedies in U.S. History. The building had inadequate means of exits, many people died from jumping from the tenth story window.

Sweatshops- factories that have unsafe working conditions, treat workers badly, and pay poorly. Occupational Safety and Health Administration- is a division of the Department of Labor that sets and enforces work-related health and safety rules Code of Ethics- is a set of guidelines of maintaining ethics in the workplace.

When considering a questionable course of action try to answer these question:  Is it against the law? Does it violate company or professional policies?  What if everyone did this? How would I feel if someone did this to me?  Am I sacrificing long term benefits for short term gains? Ethical decision making leads to more business activity and more efficient production of goods and services. Business works best when there is mutual trust between the buyer and the seller.

Here are some steps if you find yourself in a ethical dilemma: 1.)Identify the ethical dilemma. 2.)Discover alternate actions. 3.) Decide who might be affected. 4.) List the probable affects of the alternatives. 5.) Select the best alternative. Using this process will enable you to make a more informed ethical choice

Social Responsibility- is the duty to do what is best for the good of the society. Business ethics focuses on decisions considered good or bad, correct or incorrect. Conflict of Interest- when a business is a tempted to put profits before social welfare.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA)- a government agency, protects consumers from dangerous or falsely advertised products Johnson & Johnson coped with a public health crisis. When people died from poisoned Tylenol capsules the company quickly responded. It altered the public to the danger and recalled all the product at a cost of $100 million

Equal Pay Act: Passed in 1964 requires that men and women be paid the same wages for doing equal work. More than 40 years later, however, the closing of the wage gap between men and women has been at a rate of less than a penny a year. * The Americans with Disabilities Act bans discrimination against persons with physical or mental disability.

In the nineteenth and even in to the twentieth century, many polluted and destructed the environment in order to profit. Environment Protection Agency (EPA)- a federal agency that enforces rules that protect the environment and control pollution

Examples: The Los Angeles Times, a daily newspaper with over one million dedicated readers, uses only recyclable paper and environment friendly soy-based ink. Car manufacturers such a Honda and Toyota offer eco-cars which reduce air pollution.
