The most ethical way to deal with an unethical situation would be to simply say: 'We did something wrong.' But nobody in a family like mine would ever respond like this.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We all have done something unethical.
Those ethical choices often are made every day at a time, minute by minute in ways that you may not even relate to ethics, so I'm going to walk them through the whole story from that perspective and hopefully they'll be able to walk away with something good from it.
I've participated in meetings where there were concerns by ethical experts. There is no clear solution.
If people knew of ethics violations, they should have sent them to the Ethics Committee. If you think there was serious ethics violation that ought to be looked at, you don't hold it back for retaliatory purposes.
In day-to-day life, you have stimulus to behave unethically, but in the long term, it always pays off to be ethical.
The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.
I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my, or any, sense of right and wrong. I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public, whom I promised better.
So when I made some money, I didn't have any idea how one handled such a situation because no one in our family ever had any money.
I don't give advice. I can't tell anybody what to do. Instead I say this is what we know about this problem at this time. And here are the consequences of these actions.
In any ethical situation, the thing you want least to do is probably the right action.
