4th week of MIS "Ethic"

What is ethics?

Basically, we know ethic as our principles to know what is right and what is wrong, or as guidance for us to make a decision. It is at the core of everyday life on a human being, as living things that differentiate us with other living things, we have our mind to think what is right and wrong.  Therefore, an ethical behavior can be defined as the act in the way what society and an individual typically think that it is a right thing or things that bring a good value.

Back again; is there an international standard on what is ethical behavior? While the ethics can vary depending on the way people mind and knowledge that help them to interpret some action and think in deciding what is right and wrong. Hence，a lot of factors will shape up people with a different definition of ethical behavior, such as knowledge，culture, religion, and belief.

Ethics can be applied to all aspects of the business. Applied to the work environment, it means that an ethical person has a higher standard than just avoiding a certain behavior or practice because it is illegal.  Organizations that conduct business in an ethical manner generate respect, trustworthiness, and loyalty from both employees and business partners. Ethics within the workplace includes the application of moral principles, standards of behavior, codes of conduct, and ethical principles to everyday business transactions.
