Objectives
Examine moral philosophies and ethical perspectives and how these philosophies inform business practices. (1.3)
Theory and Context
Understanding what an ethical perspective is starts with a definition of ethics. Dictionary.com defines ethics as the branch of philosophy dealing with values relating to human conduct, with respect to the rightness and wrongness of certain actions and to the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions. Starting with this definition makes it easy to see why there are multiple ethical perspectives. It also helps us understand that a biblical worldview would significantly impact our personal ethical perspective.
