Is ‘business ethics’ an oxymoron? Do business ethics need to improve? If so, how?

Improvement is necessary for anything.  If I say I’m perfect, am I really?  No, of course not.  I’m lying to you.  Maybe not intentionally, but I am.  So do business ethics need to improve?  Of course they do.

We live in a world that pursues what is right and just, but how hard do we try to actually achieve this.  I look around and see companies handing out ridiculous amounts of money to CEO’s who supposedely deservc it.  Do they?  I don’t know.  Probably not.  Especially when you look at the state of the economy and figure, hmmm, tons of people are getting laid off, and yet the “important” people are rewarded.  It doesn’t make sense to put oneself above the needs of others.  Maybe this is just an ethical issue and not so much a business one, but I think we need look out for our partners, distributors, enemies, allies, and friends.  The more and more people get away with cheating the system, the faster the system will crumble.

But how do you get everyone to follow the rules?  It’s highly unlikely, I would argue.  With the difference in opinions, ideas, and beliefs in the world, finding one path to align all seems tricky.  But, we are a world full of individuals, and no matter how collectivist or individualist you are, you will first and foremost be an individual.  Each person needs to decide for themselves which path to take, and unfortunatley, this should not be forced.  As people, it seems that that only time we change is when something crappy happens first.

Lets just hope that future generations learn from and faster than those of the past.

And by the way, whose to say whose ethics are right and wrong?

Describe how you decided which post-secondary institution to attend and what program to take.

School was always in the plan for me.  I was (am?) smart and to not school go to school after High School was just out the question.  My reasoning was, if I don’t go to school, a) I’ll have to pay rent at home or b) I’ll have to move out and live without the help of my parents.  Both options made me teary eyed and thus, I used my smarts and set out to apply for school.

In the beginning, I had an idea, and only one idea.  This idea was to go to Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton.  I basically put all my eggs in one basket and only applied to MacEwan.  Why?  Cause the U of A scared me.  It scared me good.  So good in fact that when I go there to visit friends, I seem to screw things up.  Such as driving the wrong way, parking in “unsafe” places, and so on.  Grant MacEwan looked cool and rad.  To me, it was like a glorified high school.  Not to imitating, but just enough of a step to feel what school is like in a large city.  As an aside, I’m from Stony Plain.  It’s not that far from here, but far enough to confuse people who always just thought I lived on Stony Plain Road.  Anyway, (you might notice, well not yet cause this is my first post, but my tendency to pursue random tangents of uselessness) where was I.  Ah yes, MacEwan, and why I am here.  It seemed like a great stepping-stone.

I finally chose attack the school of business.  I thought, well, I knew, that business was my only viable option.  Nothing else interested me.  If I wanted to work for the companies I dreamed about at night, the only way I thought I could get there was with a business degree.  The Transfer program with the U of A seemed alright.  The U of A was the dreadful part, but eh, I needed to become a man, so maybe eventually going to the U of A would toughen me up.  Obviously, I’m not there, so in my eyes, I’m still a boy living the fairytale dream.

Was there a real reason for my madness?  Not really.  I mean could say that MacEwan offered smaller class sizes, lower tuition fees, cool teachers of coolness, and free parking (for those who looked for it…hehe).  Oh my gosh, THEY DID!! That is so awesome.

I guess I lucked out.
