Casual Articles - Teens Face Ethical Dilemma-Can We Help?
A reader suggested recently that some of my articles should be submitted to Digg, an online website where readers submit and vote for newsworthy and interesting pieces. The advice was flattering, and indeed it seems that some of what is said here is by all accounts of interest to a broad spectrum of readers, but more interesting still is the process by which Digg aims to achieve objectives of newsworthiness.The website operates on the democratic principle that readers can pick and choose what submitted articles they want to read and whether they want to “digg” them, with the obvious result that those articles with the most number of “digs” receive front-page coverage and therefore exposure. For articles that readers deem uninteresting, instead of just not voting, readers have the option to choose “This is lame” – if there are enough of these “lame-votes”, the article is r
“The notion that large numbers of students feel somewhat unprepared to make ethical decisions, coupled with the fact that they feel pressure to succeed at all costs, is a troubling combination,” said David Miller Ph.D., Executive Director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture and Assistant Professor (Adjunct) of Business Ethics.
Published survey results showed that 69% of teens admitted to lying, 34% to illegally downloading music, and 22% to cheating on tests.

This is evidenced by the competitive nature of schools even in the elementary age. Colleges are tapping into the gifted and talented students beginning their recruitment strategy as early as nine years old. What happened to child’s play?
“The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program” is an internationally recognized rigorous, two-year pre-university program. In addition to being required to complete college-level courses and exams, IB students are also required to engage in community service, individual research, and inquiry into the nature of knowledge. Students who successfully complete the requirements are awarded an IB Diploma. It is highly competitive and highly valued among many students.
Not that highly competitive programs are bad – they’re not. But, where do young people get taught proper ethical values? Here they are striving to get ahead preparing them for their future. It is highly pressurized and it starts early. Perhaps they are learning, without the wisdom of age, the illusion of success without a sound ethical foundation.
No wonder the media appears slammed with stories about the consequences of ethics and ethical lapses. The media captures attention in almost every venue – from broadcast to internet to print. Once the illusion of success is accepted as reality, then making ethical choices becomes difficult for some. Whether we hear about Enron, HP, or Martha Stewart – one thing we know is that the choices we make can have a profound impact on the consequences we live.
These issues not only affect adults, but also teens. Recently a “Teen Ethics Poll” was released by JA Worldwide™ (Junior Achievement) and Deloitte & Touche USA LLP (Deloitte). The results were featured on the Junior Achievement web site (http://www.ja.org/about/about_newsitem.asp?StoryID=376) dated December 6, 2006 and support the concept that unethical decisions start at an early age.

How to become an instant entrepreneurThe 5 Parts of innovation:1) Understand: The ability to study and understand people of different likes, needs, characteristics, and demographics is priceless in marketing and innovation. Most companies don't understand that to make better products and services, you absolutely have to care about the person using it. This is known as having empathy for the consumer. It is imperative to have a genuine interest in the needs of those you are serving for innovation to exist.2) Observe: Many entrepreneurs started by observing either themselves or someone else struggling over a process or task. Scott Cook, founder of Intuit, for example, observed his wife one night tediously paying the bills manually and wondered if there was a way he might be able to "quicken" the process. Since then, Quicken is still driving hundreds of million

Today I would like to explore some reasons why a prospective customer may not buy from you. Aside from the normal window shopper, or browser that is just bored and is just looking for the lack of something better to do at the moment. Of course we are looking at these as reasons that apply to your on-line business, however I am sure you will see how they could also apply to an off-line store/business as well. So let’s take a look.1. You are not establishing a feeling of safety when your customer wants to place an order. Keep in mind that this is the internet and you will need to have reminders in the form of seals from known on-line security systems that will put your customers at ease. Always, let me repeat that, ALWAYS have the statement posted that you will keep all their information confidential and that you would never sell, rent, or share their e-mail address with an

A bad hire can cost you a lot of money and waste you a lot of time. You do not want to make a mistake in hiring a prospective employee. As much as possible you want to get it right the first time. This is especially true if you are looking for someone to fill in the crucial position of an executive accountant to handle the money, the lifeblood of your company.What to look forIn hiring an executive accountant, qualifications and certifications are absolutely necessary. It is best to go with a highly experienced accountant. It is very important that the candidate should possess integrity and honesty. There are a lot of malpractice cases filed against accountants who are incompetent and you would not want to have this experience. Make sure that the prospective employee has no criminal record in previous work experiences.Where to searchExecutive search

“The notion that large numbers of students feel somewhat unprepared to make ethical decisions, coupled with the fact that they feel pressure to succeed at all costs, is a troubling combination,” said David Miller Ph.D., Executive Director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture and Assistant Professor (Adjunct) of Business Ethics.
Published survey results showed that 69% of teens admitted to lying, 34% to illegally downloading music, and 22% to cheating on tests. One of the most interesting statistics in the survey and perhaps one of the most telling is that more than a quarter (29 percent) of all teens surveyed stated that they are currently only “somewhat” or “not at all” prepared to make ethical decisions.
Quoting from the news release, “We have to take it seriously when students who are under so much stress tell us they think it’s not going to get any better, especially if they don’t feel prepared to make the right calls,” said Ainar D. Aijala, Jr., vice chairman and deputy chief executive officer of Deloitte Consulting LLP and chairman of the board of JA Worldwide.
In presentations I made over ten years ago to students in the same age group as the Junior Achievement study, the students reported extreme pressure to achieve and a willingness to compromise their integrity and ethical choices. Many said, in their own unique way, that they would take their chances on negative consequences from unethical choices.
Their reality was - immediate gratification - outweighed the potential consequences of their choices. Immediate gratification is common with infants and young children. As they grow it is expected that they learn the value of delayed gratification. What has happened that they are not growing out of the immediate gratification stage? Where are they learning this behavior?
Two of the students reported to me in the 1996 presentation series that look, stature, and the illusion of success was critical in the eyes of their peers. In fact, one stated that, “You do what ever it takes to get ahead. If I can get ahead now, then I’ll have a greater chance in the business world later.” When asked if that meant compromising his integrity – his response was “Success trumps all – What ever it takes.”
The challenge for our young people today is once you take that first bite, once you engage in unethical behavior, it’s hard to undo the consequences. If we expect our future leaders of tomorrow to function in a more ethical manner than the current business leaders of today, then we must take the initiative to train decision ma
