Question

Which of the following is a good rule for avoiding unethical behavior?
a.
Do what everyone else does
b.
If it feels wrong, don’t do it
c.
Do what your boss tells you to
d.
Don’t talk about things you see

Answer 1

b. If it feels wrong, don’t do it.

This rule encourages personal ethical judgment and caution. The other options (doing what everyone else does, blindly following a boss, or staying silent about wrongdoing) can justify or enable unethical behavior.
