They manifest a commitment to the pursuit of truth, and a vigorous and unbiased examination of individuals and information. Then they declare and take action on what is right. Ethical people scrutinize themselves and welcome the scrutiny of others. Ethical people acknowledge that human nature compels us towards independence. Our preference for independence results in isolation from one another.
Isolation breeds temptation to unethical conduct.
Ethical people resist this chain reaction by adopting transparent life and work-styles that invite inspection. Ethical people place themselves in relationships that motivate self-examination and encourage constructive critique from those they serve. Ethical people seek to fully integrate defined internalized ethics with their external actions in both their private and public worlds over time as a conscious life-style. Ethical people treat others, as they would want to be treated. As a result, ethical people place the ultimate worth of others as equal to their own worth.
