This chapter explains the importance of Ethics, not just the truthful and honest parts, but also to protect others from hazards and dangers. Ethical and legal issues are everyday things that a person should be aware of and understand. I think, the proverb fits here “Don’t do to anyone what you would not want anyone to do to you.”
The book involves all kinds of
obligations, law, justice, rights, care, roles and conduct in which a person
should take the responsibility to provide reliable information. At the same
time, it is to expect honesty in its favor from the other person. I consider law and ethics the way to protect
the consumer or any type of organization.
I believe that all of us at some time in our life have suffered a lack
of honesty. On my part, I consider ethics not only a duty toward people but a
religious belief. God is watching me. The times I have been dishonest trouble
me for years because at that point I thought I could justify it but over the
years I keep thinking about it and I realize that there is no justification. I
believe that I justify my dishonesty by looking at its classification. For example, I used to work in a pharmacy in
my country and my boss always took money from the pay of the workers because
things would get lost or broken, regardless if they were stolen or lost by
employees or customers. My mom taught me not to steal and to be honest. In this
place we were also not to eat but we were always hungry (one time I fainted)
and the owner had chips and bread for sale.
A way to get back at the boss was eating the chips and the bread. I am not proud of it. I still regret it
because I could have made a difference in that place with my coworkers who
introduced me to do it.
