Description of Ethics

What is the definition of Ethics? In Wikipedia Ethics is known as “moral philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. In philosophy, ethics studies the moral behavior in humans, and how one should act.” Ethics is then further classified into four areas of study which you may read on more at Wikipedia. However, business ethics is completely different. It is things that would be morally incorrect in conducting the business and that may cause obstacles and harm to the business. For example, at Hooters women are supposed to dress in an appealing manner with a certain level of self-exposure to attract clients and promote the business, but on the other hand the women working in a professional law firm can harm the reputation of the business if they were to follow the uniform attire of Hooters. So as you can see, ethics may be viewed in a different way depending on the company and business ethics completely differ from personal ethics.
