Abstract
Businesses immorality not only affected those employees but the lives of their families, as well as all those whom connected to the company. One will never know the extent of damage caused by immoral acts; the repercussions are too far reaching. In a business environment, a business should be more conscious of acting morally correct than any individual, because the number of live affected are incalculable.

Introduction
Businesses should be morally responsible because the damage they can do is monumental. Businesses that do not act morally destroy lives; while these individual may not die their lives are irrevocably changed.

This collapse was entirely preventable; had the owner not violated building codes and failed to respond appropriately to information that the building was not safe, the accident would not have happened. (Fortune, 2013) Furthermore, this businesses immorality not only affected those employees that died but the lives of their families, as well as all those whom witnessed the event.

In a business environment, a business should be more conscious of acting morally correct than any individual, because the number of live affected are incalculable.
