We discussed ethics in business. We examined some Calvin Klein ads today and discussed the possible ethical issues surrounding them. There is one here of two little boys in their underwear that caused a lot of discussion, I wonder why?!?
Of course when studying or discussing ethics you can't forget about morality.
Morality is, at the very least, the effort to guide one's conduct by reason -- that is, to do what there are the best reasons for doing -- while giving equal weight to the interests of each individual who will be affected by one's conduct. James Rachels
Realizing we were talking about ethics and morality in a business sense, there, of course, may be different ideas and/or definitions on morality. However the case, there was some interesting dialogue around the difference between ethics and morality and whether or not they are all that different. Unfortunately we were not able to expand on that comment that was made. I would have liked to explore that avenue.
I am looking forward to tomorrow's class (as well as all the others) where we continue our discussion on ethics. However, I think my brain is full for the day. Unfortunately, I didn't get all my reading done today, so I am hoping to finish that up tomorrow morning.

I took a seminar class that explored the difference between ethics and morality in undergrad. It is indeed a very interesting thing to ponder. Sounds like your classes are going well so far, that's great! Hopefully see you in the halls at some point this year!
