Running head: CODE OF ETHICS 1 Code of Ethics Comparison Nikita Jackson Liberty University Abstract Codes of Ethics serve as a guide in everyday professional conduct in any work environment. All professions have some form of ethics code to make sure they are in compliance and are not in violation of anyone’s rights. Most ethics codes include a mission statement and its purpose, values, the functions of it and how to deal with ethics issues in a particular practice, principles and standards. Without a code of ethics in the work place or professional setting rights are bound to be violated and conduct in the environment can easily get out
As an example, a grocery store clerk who reports the father from the previous example to the police would be in violation of utilitarian ideology, but would find approval in virtue ethics. By reporting the father he is being an excellent employee to the grocery store and also improving society by reducing crime, passing the tests for both ethics and morality by virtue ethics standards.

Business Ethics - Second Short Paper Paul F. Camenisch’s argument is that the heart of business ethics is its ability to contribute to human flourishing. He relates business ethics to ethics in general. Business ethics relies on the same moral code that every person should follow. Ethics cannot be departmentalized as separate moral codes for business, parents, students, etc. Business is even viewed by some as being the vehicle for contributions to worthy causes.
The two intersect working together as sometimes something ethical is legally enforceable (Wisegeek, 2014). Sometimes what is ethical in business may not be legal, and what is legal may not be ethical. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires companies to establish a code of ethics (Manias, 2013).

I believe this places them in a certain ethical system. An ethical system is the basic morals that define your life and the life of those close to you. This can be your family, community, and workplace.
