Business Ethics2 In one of the surveys conducted it was revealed that many of the assumptions on the topic of business ethics that support the code of business in supporting the social good are not accepted inworkplaces. The research in this paper emphasizes on expounding how companies pump finances in some ethical programs whose value employees and senior employees question[ CITATION Pre97 \l 1033 ]. The association between work, the market and bureaucracy portray that employees question the existence of ethics in business since there is no good or bad that can be chosen from such scenarios. The only choice that exists is that of success or failure. The article seems ironical in defining and elaborating the success and the good life as it defines them by the hard work that is normallyseen in organizations that are well organized that operate in a free market (Roth,2007). The article fails to believe in the existence of a free market, bureaucracy and hard work and rather state that these only exist in the world of fiction[ CITATION Pre97 \l 1033 ]. The article identifies that the main problem that faces most organizations is the fact that most of these business enterprises are formed as profit-making entities and as such have no interest in the activities of the society. However, that is rhetorical as most businesses are usually seen contributing the surrounding communities through initiating certain projects that are meant for community development. The article continues further to state that a challenge exists in convincing such enterprises to contribute to the communities that they work in as there are direct benefits that accrue to them for their ethical behavior. The author suggests that for the organization to do good for the society, they have to be shown the value of termism[ CITATION Pre97 \l 1033 ].

It has been recommended that one of the strategies that is required in unraveling the unfavorable environment of a continued lack of ethics in business is through encouraging recognition of the existence of the community, the company and the workforce[ CITATION Boy14 \l 1033 ]. The article goes further stating that there are more ways that it can provide to help the companies counter the hurdle by engaging more ethical practices and long-term behavior in companies. Also, the article provides more solutions as to the expectations of enterprises how they can be communicated in a more robust manner through mechanisms in the corporate section that can ensure ethical action which is of benefit to both the individual and the organization in fostering interests of such parties in the long term[ CITATION Pre97 \l 1033 ]. The implementation of an ethical program that is successful has the same effect and value just like having a quality program that has been implemented; they both generate the same effect.[ CITATION Tho11 \l 1033 ] The author begins by revealing that in a recent survey that they had conducted most individuals confessed to not seeing any ethical practices in businesses[ CITATION Gin09 \l 1033 ]. However, it seems that the author knew something in the field of ethics that such people did not have knowledge of its existence[ CITATION Pre97 \l 1033 ]. The author had read several literature materials that listed the importance of codes of behavior, implementation of systems that ensure justice in place of work, checking the best claims between the deontological and utilitarian theories and analyzing some issues in business ethics to ensure fine tuning. The increased public awareness of ethical practices by organizations, team working among employees and also empowerment programs among the staff are some of the items that contribute to the burgeoning bulk of literature pertaining the ethics in business and also at
