Unfortunately, behavior does not consistently conform to self-image and moral ambitions. People who are unwilling to lose have to be willing to do whatever it takes to win. Ethics has a price and sometimes people must choose between what they want and what they want to be. But ethics also has a value, which makes self-restraint and sacrifice, service and charity, worthwhile. While weakness of will explains a good deal of improper conduct, a much greater problem arises from the failure to perceive the ethical implications of conduct.
Many people simply fail to apply their moral convictions to daily behavior.
And some tend to develop a kind of professional tunnel vision that blinds them to ethical issues that everyone else sees. Some people don't always see ethical issues that are likely to trouble outsiders. They don't seem to recognize that perfectly legal conduct often appears to be improper or inappropriate to those who expect them to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Ethical Competency Noticing the ethical issues and being committed to act ethically is not always enough. In complex situations, reasoning and problem-solving skills are also necessary.
