Answer to Question 1

Determining whether an action is ethical can be difficult. Learning to analyze a dilemma from both legal and ethical perspectives will help you find a solution that conforms to your own personal values.
a . Dimension 1: Behavior that is illegal and unethical: When considering some actions, you will reach the conclusionthat they are both illegal and unethical. The lawspecifically outlines the black areathose alternativesthat are clearly wrongand your employer will expect youto become an expert in the laws that affect your particulararea . When you encounter an unfamiliar area, you mustinvestigate any possible legal implications. Frequently, your own individualsense of right and wrong will also confirm that the illegalaction is wrong for you personally. In such situations, decisions about appropriate behavior are obvious.
b. Dimension 2: Behavior that is illegal yet ethical: Occasionally, a businessperson will decide that even though a specific action is illegal, there is a justifiable reason to break the law. A better course of action would be to act within the law, possibly while lobbying for a change in the law.
c. Dimension 3: Behavior that is legal yet unethical: If you determine that a behavior is legal and complies with relevant contractual agreements and company policy, your next step is to consult your company's or profession's codeof ethics. This written document summarizes the company's or profession's standards ofethicalconduct. Some companies refer to this document as acredo. If the behavior does not violate the code of ethics, then put it to the test of your own personal integrity.
d. Dimension 4: Behavior that is both legal and ethical: Decisions in this dimension are easy to make. Such actions comply with the law, company policies, and your professional and personal codes of ethics.
