Ethical Obligations and Decision-Making in Accounting: Text and Cases 4th Edition by Steven Mintz,Roselyn Morris

Exercise 3

In the debate over why good people do bad things, Tenbrunsel suggests that people are often blind to the ethical dimensions of a situation, a concept he refers to as "bounded ethicality." Craig Johnson addresses moral disengagement by saying: When others try to encourage you to bad behavior ("the dark side") realize that you are an independent agent, and that you have a personal responsibility to behave morally. Discuss what this means to you.
