            This book is all about how ethics can be applied when it comes in decision making processes.  It gave some cases and strategies that can be a good help to managers, as well as employees.

According to the book, we should not ignore the society’s cultural, religious, literary, and moral traditions because from these, our values were developed and nourished. These things often teach us lessons that can be applied as we face our lives.

CHAPTER 1 - “Ethics and Ethical Decision Making”

“Ethical values are principles that assist us in making decisions that implement an ethical point of view.

            Ethical values is a great essential when it comes in deciding what principle will you believe in, what principle is important, and if it can be applied to other person

CHAPTER 2 – “Ethical Principles”

”The principle of honesty is important because it is the source of trust””

            Honesty is very important when it comes to dealing with people. Without it relationships are useless. If we are unable to give trust to others, all things will be difficult. This is because, people also expect to be treated honestly and also wants to believe that they will be treated the same too.

CHAPTER 4 – “”The Resolvedd Strategy in Depth”

“Conscience may be thought of as a red flag, a warning sign that perhaps something is not quite right.”

            Conscience is a sign were we must give considerations in a certain situation. It is a gift from God that helps us to be careful when things go wrong. It is an indicator that needs us to think and reflect on the things that we did, especially when we know we have hurt someone.
