Patterns of cheating emerge early. My DH consults and writes on the subject of corporate ethics. These incidents that are viewed as "harmless" or due to overload are much more complex and indicate a person likely to make a lifelong habit of cheating. Teaching ethics at an early age is crucial.

<p>Does he write about the lack thereof? Because I havent seen anything to indicate there is anything in existence that we can remotely call corporate ethics. It is the biggest oxymoron of our generation! Apparently there is little desire to do the right thing because it is the right thing. It is quickly becoming a "if you can get away with it" world and based on the lack of a required accountability, most have seen they can get away with it. Societal disgrace? Apparently even that doesn't matter.</p>
<p>Well I hope this teaches everyone not to even try or take chances/risks...</p>
<p>It would suck to go to college and pay $40,000 and get kicked out. :(</p>
<p>It's not about taking risk. There is risk and there is lack of ethics and moral responsibility. I believe in risk and chance in all the good ways that it stretches who you are in a good way. So you think you won't make the play? The only way that's going to for sure happen is if you don't audition? What's that michael jordan quote? I missed all of the shots I failed to take. Or something like that. There is risk and there is chance and when you do either at the complete disregard for anyone else or for your own moral compass, I think it changes who you are. And if you started doing that in elementary and high school...past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.</p>
<p>I agree. There's a big difference between taking a risk (which could be doing something like deciding to take a class in a subject you've never taken before) and being unethical. </p>

<p>I've seen corporations with ethics. </p>
<p>As for whether young people will see the lack of corporate ethics and then decide they don't need ethics either, it goes back to the old saying, "If everyone jumped off a cliff, would you, too?"</p>
