Business ethics are more than the class you take in college – they are the underlying values that must be strongly upheld in business dealings to maintain the values of our society. When morally ambiguous situations arise within our own lives or the lives of others, we must ask: How can I learn from this?
Opportunities for deception and dishonesty surround us every day. As professionals, there are choices to make about how we should conduct ourselves in every interaction and every situation we face in the workplace. By allowing ourselves to bend the rules, larger acts of rule-breaking simply become easier.
Truthfully, this article is not about Martin Shkreli or other business moguls who have hit the headlines for fraud allegations. This article is about us.

Psychological principles could explain major healthcare failings
Press Release
Bangor University
Originally released on
Here is an excerpt:
In the research paper, Dr Michelle Rydon-Grange who has just qualified as a Clinical Psychologist at the School of Psychology, applies psychological theory to find new understandings of the causes that lead to catastrophic failures in healthcare settings. She explains that the aspect often neglected in inquiries is the role that human behaviour plays in contributing to these failures, and hopes that using psychological theories could prevent their reoccurrence in the future.
The value of psychological theory in safety-critical industries such as aviation and nuclear power has long been acknowledged and is based upon the notion that certain employee behaviours are required to maintain safety. However, the same is not yet true of healthcare.
Though there may not be obvious similarities between various healthcare scandals which have occurred in disparate areas of medicine over the last few decades, striking similarities in the conditions under which these crises occurred can be found, according to Rydon-Grange.
