Writing and Speaking: Writing Articles on Business Ethics

The other day, I was going through all the business articles I had written and compiled, and I noted that I had produced quite a number of articles on business ethics. I'm not sure why, it was never my intention to do so, it just seems that it must be on my mind, as it has also been in the news. It was something that always bothered me in business, and I think we also need to deal with ethics in government as well.
It is my contention that the real problem starts in the family, and cheating on tests in school. If people get by cheating, chances are they learn these habits and will cheat their way through life the best they can. That doesn't do any of us any good out here in the real world, as it is always the consumer, investor, or society that somehow ends up paying for it in the end.
Okay so, this brings me to another subject, and that is this; all of us online article authors might be able to do quite a bit of good for the world if we will prepare quality content telling of case studies, stories, experiences, and observations about what we've learned and witnessed on this topic. The more people who are talking about it, and the more it is on everyone else's mind, the fewer instances we will have of less than ethical behavior in the business world.
No, I don't think we're going to be able to get rid of all of it, human nature dictates that people will always find a way to get more while doing less. There are just too many lazy people in the world, and cheating comes to easy. Nevertheless, by keeping this topic in everyone's minds it does create a little bit of peer pressure out in society, and in the business workplace. People are less likely to do unethical behavior if they know everyone else is watching, and thinking about it.
If each one of us online article writers prepares just three or four articles on the topic over let's say a year's period, that could amount to 2 million more articles on the topic posted online. Those articles will be re-tweeted, and some of them will enter the hot zone of viral content, meaning tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people will read the article.
Further, it can do a lot more to helping commerce and or economy if business people know they can trust each other, they are more likely to do more business, and that means more commercial activity, and more money flows. This translates to lower unemployment rates, because as people do more business they have to hire more people to get it all done. Maybe we can start a good trend here. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
