Argument Against Carr and Bluffing in Business

A code of ethics is typically a gathering of different ethical theories put together to make one code of beliefs. A code of ethics is completely different from moral code which is also an extremely important.

Even though their beliefs are so similar, this one varying ethical belief that John and Kathy have means that they have completely different ethical codes. Therefore this takes into account anytime there are major differing views then codes of ethics can be on completely different spectrum. With this said, it creates a wide scale of beliefs that are to be interpreted to identify what exactly is ethical or unethical.

Unfortunately the law is essentially a code of ethics society has to follow or face punishment. The possible punishment can be harsh, when something isn’t even against their’ own personal code of ethics. For example, Sarah could think stealing is perfectly acceptable; yet,
