<p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A BOOK REVIEW ON WHAT’S RIGHT AND WRONG IN BUSINESS</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">(Raphael Gomez, 2002)
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">CHAPTER 1: FOUNDATION OF ETHICS
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</span></p>
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>One should bear in mind that the absence of knowledge and freedom – understood as a serious absence of either one – is something that almost rarely happens. When it does, it may be due to extraordinary circumstances or situations, such as mental illness, hypnosis, drugs, torture, grave, fear, and similar cases. Ordinarily, human acts proceed from a knowledge that may not be perfect but is sufficient nevertheless, and from a freedom that may be influenced by many factors but it is free nonetheless. This is what, in ordinary language, a voluntary human act means.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Ethics is a broad term that could branch out to various and several forms. Ethics means to talk of values, and at the same time, people have their own sets of values. What a person may perceive or believe may be different from what the other one perceives. Thus, making a conflict of the acts that these two persons do. Human actions refer to those actions that are based on sufficient knowledge and freedom that is exercised by human themselves. </span></p>
</span>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">CHAPTER 3: ECONOMICS AND ETHICS
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>It has not been proven that, in the beginning of human civilization, there was, in a univocal way, a kind of integral communism. Rather, communism has been a cultural achievement, an enterprise explicitly willed and implemented, which went against certain natural attributes, like private property, for example. In most of the cases of the ancient civilizations we know, private property was flourishing. The normal thing was to have a combination of private property, family and clan property and, at times, “State” property; “State” here means the juridical form of political coexistence.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Respecting the properties of others would be perfectly ethical. Unless there is communism in a community, all properties would then be equally distributed among its members. The principle behind ‘communal economy’ is ethical since it hopes that may there be something for all of the people within it. Equality and communism is entirely different from each other since the former has been abused and misused from its original meaning which is each and all be given the same. Ethics in a community would be hard to judge whether they are morally accepted or not. However, there are still limitations to which a market can buy or sell their goods just like prohibited drugs and goods. All of those who participate in the market exchange system must work altogether honestly to provide for the needs of one another and gain their trusts among themselves.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">CHAPTER 6: ETHICS AND MANAGEMENT
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</span></p>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>We can conclude that management is not only something alien to ethics, it is in fact essentially linked to it. Explicit reference is not absolutely necessary. Even more, the way management refers to the ethical is by using another language, other terms or expressions. Many of them are perfectly neutral. Others, however, betray their common origin. Thus, in fact of apparently not making reference – which is, doubtless, a real making reference – one plays the management game. As long as mention is made only of the instrumental, ethical language is not needed. A good software program is not nor needs to be a morally good program. Neither does it have to be a morally good one. Mathematics is neither virtuous nor laden with vice. When, in contrary we deal with human actions, ethical language imposes its own authority.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Ethics in management is manifested very well in a broad sense. According to how the topic management is discussed among books, there are three subjects; they are the management itself, the personnel and the sales. This chapter discusses how management is linked with ethics. The way how an organization manages its personnel and sales, it is done with virtues that guide it as to how to ethically manage the company. </span></p>
