Eastern and Western Ethics

Within the Discussion Board area, write 200–300 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Anthropologists have defined culture as a body of learned belief, values, traditions, and guides for behavior sharing among members of a group. This idea of culture has been particularly useful for understanding and differentiating among work organizations and the behavior of people in them (Trevino & Nelson, 2014).

Focus your discussion on the following:

• What are the cultural frameworks for defining business ethics within organizations?
• How should organizations undertake a cultural change? What cultural systems should be implemented? Which should not be implemented?
• Are ethics entirely learned, or is it in part inherited and therefore genetic?

Using Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) from Bloom’s Taxonomy, respond to the prompts. Be sure to demonstrate a mastery of the course content through the use of analysis, synthesis, and the application of ideas.
