I believe ethics to be particular to each person. According to the introduction to business book that I used last semester a pole taken showed that everyone thinks that in some cases it is ok to steal, lie, cheat, or kill. What happens then to ethics if this is true? Do we just ignore the fact that inside of all of us we believe that at some point it is ok to kill someone? Ethics then gets defined by the situation that we are put in. I ask you to take some time and think about the answer to this question: what would you do under certain circumstances? Would you kill? Would you steal? A lot of people would be surprised of their honest answers. I know I was when I was posed with this question last semester in my intro to business class.
