...Ethical Relativism Richard Gomez Colorado University PHIL320-1303A-02 : Ethics: The Hallmark of Leaders at All Levels Phase 2 IP Professor Lawrence Tilman July 22, 2013 Ethical relativism points of view are equally valid and can be defined as the belief that nothing is impartially right or wrong as the meaning of right or wrong are contingent on the current views of an individual a culture, or even a historical time period. Meaning that certain characteristics are right due to fitting into that setting, while other characteristics are wrong because of a cultural tradition. (Rosenstand, 2013). The corrupt behaviors which were discussed in Phase 2 discussion board were of two different companies, the two companies that I chose were Walmart and Nike. However, in this particular individual project I will focus on corrupt behaviors of Walmart. In today’s culture, there are three particular factors of behavior, thought and feeling and these patterns are considered normal only because they are and can be significant and useful. Normal behavior supports unity where abnormal does not come together with in an organization and can easily destroy the organization. The behavior of Walmart has destroyed a part of their integrity as it has caused a significant profit loss for the organization. Behavior thought and feeling are all different factors where a judgment can be placed on what is right and what...

...Part A There are many different types of business forms for your company to convert to. Below I will discuss the six types, their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. I have concluded that there is one piece of generalized advice I can give for all of these types, and that is preparation for all owners involved, no matter the role. In the event of a death, or a decision to leave the business, you should make sure that at the forming of the business, that everything is in order for all parties involved and the smooth continuation of said business. Running a business can be an exciting endeavor, but I would recommend to anyone before they start, to have everything legally in order for all the different kinds of situations you can find yourself in. Sole Proprietorship- The simplest form of business, a sole proprietorship is the most common form of business in our country. Be it because it can be managed by a single person; or perhaps it’s the lack of agreements and formalities needed for the business to run, sole proprietorships are able to operate on a small scale and responsibilities fall on only one person. In a sole proprietorship, only one person is needed for the capital and credit to start the business, and possibly that’s why we American Dreamers have turned it into the most common form of business used in this great country. What distinguishes this form from the rest, is the unshared responsibility of the owner. Characteristics of a sole proprietorship, to be...
