There are those that take the position in business that if something is legal it is also ethical. However, many of the issues we deal with in business ethics are practices which are officially legal but which are considered unethical, at least by some.
Accordingly, for this activity you are asked to identify a current legal business practice that you find to be unethical, and explain why. There is no wrong answer as it is your own personal opinion. However, you will be judged on how well you articulate your rationale. It is not only important for your grade, but also for a full and fair consideration of issues in life.
Your initial post is due by the end of the day on Thursday. Comment on two other student’s posts by the end of the day on Sunday.
