One of my lecturers prides himself with the fact that people are bound to hear about Ethics in his lecture.

Coming from the culture of "Duit Kopi" and "Makan Suap", I find his lectures catalysts for deep introspection.



BTW, is it really our culture? Or is culture merely an attempt to lull our conscience from confronting the truth of our behaviour?



Anyway, ethics is fast being accepted as one of the fundamentals of organisations both in academic and corporate worlds. The importance of ethics are specifically highlighted by some huge corporate debacles such as Enron and WorldCom.



Almost daily, individuals face issues demanding ethical considerations. Sometimes what we see and experience makes us wonder Why do good people do bad things? Some might ask, Can I make any difference? At the organisational level, it is interesting to look at Organisation's Ethical Congruence.
