Abstract
What are ethics? The definition of the dictionary is the following: "a set of principles of right conduct". It is linked to morality too. We can find this concept in a lot of aspects of life. It touches the social environment. A good person is someone who follows an ethical and moral conduct. It is a sort of respect towards everyone and the group community. But ethics don't concern only people. Indeed, they concern states, organizations and companies. Ethics play an important part in decision making for companies. There are lots of examples to illustrate an unethical activity of companies. Indeed, some big companies are often criticized concerning their practice. They make their products in Asian countries, where labor costs are very low and where children can work. After that, they sell those products in Western countries at a very high price because of the brand image. By citing this example, I precisely think about one big US company: Nike which did these practices. Indeed, Nike violated local labor laws by maltreating employees and sweatshop conditions in its Asian factories.
