I think that a good place for organizations to start being ethical is within the company itself. I have been at my current job for over a year and there has been no mention of ethics, good practices, etc. I think companies assume that every employee already knows what's ethical. But when the workplace is so culturally diverse, it seems necessary for organizations to provide guidelines or embed ethics into the training process. Everyone's beliefs and ideals are different and these are factors that influence ethics, so organizations should not take for granted that everyone will always behave "ethically."

When it comes to ethics, we share similar beliefs. I feel organizations are not giving enough attention to ethics. On chapter 14 of the textbook – page 408, there are several questions in regarding to ethics, and I want to focus on this one: “Does Nike Corporation has the right to refute charges of abusive child labor practices in Indonesia by arguing that the people there are better off with Nike employment than without it?”
This is the typical mentality of companies that do not enforce ethics on their businesses. It is obvious that Nike does not count on ethics to use child labor in Indonesia. But apparently they do not care. No matter how many children have been sacrificed, no matter if those kids are working instead of studying, Nike is still making money. Additionally, whenever companies make donations to the community, they build up their reputation, get interesting tax deductions, and this is translated into the bottom line you are talking about.
My thesis in my undergraduate course, Journalism, was focused on Child Labor in Brazil. I tried to interview companies that utilize child labor on their production. But guess what? No response at all. Simultaneously, I tried to interview companies that were taking initiatives to improve the reality of children and adolescents who work in Brazil, and what they were doing to change this sad reality. Of course this second group promptly agreed to talk to me. “Are ethics discussed as coming from within a person? Are they imposed from the outside? Are they only important when someone else is watching?” Indeed, theory and practice need to function together when the subject is ethics.
