Sloth — Some say
it's worst of the 7 deadly sins
Salt Lake City
Deseret News, March 25, 2006
By Susan Whitney |
| |
Sloth can also be
defined as being apathetic about
government, says
Robert Solomon in his book "Wicked
Pleasures." Solomon says the failure of
public will allows fascists to take
over. He urges involvement, saying,
"Occasions for good present themselves
every day, and every day we pass them
by." |

Jets cause REIT
ruckus: Ethics issue seen in ownership
by co-chairman, vendor

By Thomas A. Corfman, Tribune staff
reporter |

Patricia Werhane,
executive director of DePaul
University's Institute for Business and
Professional Ethics, questioned the use
and ownership of the plane.

another vendor, are you going to use
me?" |

Professors
now routinely fight back by using
Internet programs such as TurnitIn.com
that can detect whether large portions
of a term paper have been lifted off the
Web.
"I've had students who have seemed
genuinely confused," said
George Brenkert,
professor of business ethics at
Georgetown University in Washington. "I
think it shows the need for early
training in ethics education in middle
and high schools." |

Wal-Mart:
Desperately seeking ethics: The world's
largest retailer is trying to get out in
front of critics and project a reputable
image.
FORTUNE Magazine,
March 7, 2006
By Matthew Boyle, FORTUNE writer |

But
Wal-Mart's decision to hire a director
of global ethics is more than a
defensive tactic -- it's an attempt get
out in front of critics and project a
reputable image at home and abroad.
"Wal-Mart has a ton of critics and this
is one effort to show that they are
taking this seriously," says
Andrew Wicks,
co-director of the Olsson Center for
Applied Ethics at the University of
Virginia's Darden business school. |

Laura Nash, a
senior lecturer at Harvard Business
School and co-author of the book "Church
on Sunday, Work on Monday: The Challenge
of Fusing Christian Values With Business
Life." |

"It's been a
wake-up call to a lot of corporate
executives," said
Dean W.
Krehmeyer, executive director of the
Business Roundtable Institute for
Corporate Ethics at the University
of Virginia. Lay's indictment
"reinforces the message. We've seen
enough executives and folks walked away
in handcuffs and indicted that I believe
the message has been received." |
