The post was not to define perfection and goodness, rather the importance of being a true light of God’s word that will be beneficial to someone. God use people as he did in the Old Testament, because he saw more than murders, harlots and an adulterers. God created us in his image, who are we to reflect or teach anything different to someone that is lost and do not know their identity. Thanks for the response, I would not want my words to be misinterpreted. Cynthia V Searight…

Her article was written to only show you that the moral ideal is wrong. Almost every sentence is a bashing, diminishing, eliminating any positive thought of moral sainthood. She uses words like unattractive and non-desirable to practical feed you this prejudice opinion that the moral ideal is wrong. And in her focus on providing as much concern and positivity on her side, she didn't truly explain why personal perfection is better than the promotion of good. nd how would you want people to act if you were in suffering (or a bad).…

I thought that your evaluation of Person-Centered Theory brought out significant consistency and inconsistency of Biblical truth along with how this counseling theory can impact spiritual growth. You were able to explain the definition of this theory as well as how the characteristics of this theory showcase Biblical truth. I agree that the mentality of the counselor having unconditional positive regard showcases a piece of truth about our relationships with each other and with God. We are to love and care for others unconditional love just as Jesus did for us when he died for our sin. I concur that as Christians and counselor, we should strive to engage others with unconditional positive regard.…

Every organization has their own set of rules, guidelines, values, and procedure on how they want to manage their business. However, organizations question the importance of ethical coding. Are they beneficial to the corporation? Can they help raise and bring in profits? Or does it have the potential to cause risk to the corporation?…
White collar crime can be described as illegal acts, performed by educated people, for personal or organizational gain resulting from deception (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2013). With the growth in technology and globalization, individuals often discover loop holes in order to achieve internet fraud, credit card fraud, and healthcare fraud, in addition to insider trading. In addition, good people can be influenced into making bad decisions by following leaders within their organization. Therefore, I believe that white collar crime, for the most part, is the result of a weak organizational code of ethics, providing that a code may exist but not necessarily followed.…
Enron, founded in 1985, due to the merge of two major gas pipeline companies, Houston Natural Gas and IterNorth, which was an Omaha based company (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2013). Ken Lay was the CEO of Houston Natural Gas, became Enron’s CEO and chairman within the next year that Enron was founded. Enron provided products and services that were related to electricity, natural gas, as well as communications for retailers as well as wholesalers. During the 90’s, Mr. Lay, along with Mr. Skilling, and Mr. Fastow changed the game, by making the basic electricity and gas business into a 150 billion dollar company. With the growing in Enron’s revenue, it was ranked number seven on the Fortune 500 (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2013).…
You did not Include the 6 step prossess to dealing with an ethical decision, but you discussed in detail the other ethical theories. I think you might have misunderstood what reciprocity means: For reciprocity you should write about how you would react to your choice if you where the inlaws or even the other companies, would you still think that was the right choice? Besides that, excellent…
1. Personal ethical perspectives: 1.1. One of the most important fraud case in USA was The Enron case because of his criminal activity which involved a big part of USA. Let me give a short introduce about it, “In 1974, Kenneth Lay joined the Florida Gas Company, eventually serving as president of its successor company, Continental Resources Company. In 1981, he left Continental to join Transco Energy Company in Houston, Texas.…
How did the corporate culture at Enron contribute to its decline and bankruptcy? The culture at Enron was about obtaining monetary gain and this was supported and encouraged by executives. They promoted a culture of arrogance and made employees believe that they could take high risk with no consequences imposed. It was described in the documentary as the “survival of the fittest”.…
And yet, at the same time, if they find it problematic, perhaps the reader is the one that is wrong, as the argument is similar to that of Calvins, who has higher moral and spiritual authority than the average reader. She is apologizing, distancing, and refuting any arguments and criticisms from the piece, shielded from all possible attacks. This immediately shows her mastery over words and her ability to make many contradictory points in the same…
In a business environment, there are many moral and ethical principles that surround business practice (Robbins et al, 2013). Firms are motivated by growth, expansion and profit, and as these rules bind business practices, many can be disregarded or avoided by individuals or entire firms, to cut corners in the pursuit of wealth. Competition drives efficiency, innovation, growth and raises incomes, however it also makes firms look to cut costs, their prices and indirectly destroy entrepreneurial opportunity. Businesses have to have the willingness to be ethical, as there will always be cheaper, easier, unethical ways to save money and time, but competition, as opposed to greed, promotes ethical behaviour in the long run (Shleifer, 2004). As competitive pressures lead firms to unethical behaviour, it also raises incomes and consumer’s…
