To be ethical, one has to determine their obligations, moral ideas, and moral philosophy (Boatright, p. 19, 2009).

Ethical behavior in business is consistent with the principles, norms and standards of business practices agreed upon by society (Boatright, p.4, 2009). Jacob Franklin decides to go against the code of ethical behavior for job security and personal gain.…
