Ethics

Ethics are the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group.  When you think of ethics it applies to everything you do in life, whether it is at work, home, school, or anywhere else.  I was watching a movie the other day and it had a scene in it where one of the workers got an opportunity to be in a higher position at work.  This position would give him a raise which him and his family desperately needed, but there was a catch to getting this job.  The manager said that if he wanted to be in this position he had to do one thing.  There was a shipment coming in the next day that was suppose to bring 17 crates and he told the guy to write down that only 16 came in because he had ideas for the extra crate.  This was a hard decision for him to make because he really needed the money, but he knew it was unethical.  When the manager asked him what he was going to do he told him that he wasn't going to lie.  The manager stood up and shook his hand and offered him the job.  He wanted someone he could trust to be in that position.  So what would you do if you were in his position?  A lot of people are affected by these decisions lately and some even get fired for wanting to do the right thing.  It definitely sucks to know that the world we are in now is okay with lying and most of the things people do today are unethical.  Think about politics  they all lie in order to get ahead of there competitor.  What happened to people trying to win by telling the truth?  So you choose are you going to be ethical or unethical in your next decision you make.
