The Occupy Movement Ethical behavior in business is consistent with the principles, norms, and standards of business practice that have been agreed upon by society (Trevino & Nelson, 2007). Society is unhappy with greed and corruption of wealth inequality prevalent in the U S. The wealth of the United States people is only held by 1% of the U.S. population (“Occupy Together”. 2011).
The Occupy Wall Street movement focus is for better wealth equality across the nation. What happened in society that brought up the issue? What ethical change or ethical system played a role in the issue? What is a proposed plan to fix the issue? What seems to be the Basis of the Issue?
The basis of the Occupy movement was brought about by ongoing financial fraud and wanting the wrong doers to be brought to justice. The movement wants to separate money from politics. The Canadian-based anti-consumerist organization called Adbusters proposed occupation of Wall Street to protest corporate influence on democracy, and a growing disparity in wealth. The issue being; they represent the 99%, and have the goal of ending the greed and corruption that the wealthiest 1% of Americans have (“Occupy Together”. 2011). The Occupy Wall Street movement wants a more equal distribution of the wealth.
The idea is to rebuild the wealth, based on policy reform such as policies to reduce and eliminate corporate influence in politics. The movement wants to reform the current tax structure, create new jobs, reform health care, and improve policies that involve environment and energy, improve the current state of the educational system, and create anti-war policies (Hayat, 2011).
