Example from business: Since mankind is created in the image of God, as an accountant I should not cheat others out of money. Similarly, as an accountant, it is my responsibility to make sure that my clients' information is correctly reflected based on the information provided to me. Therefore, if a friend who also happened to be my client asked me to misrepresent certain information so that he could avoid paying his taxes, I could not do so.(This example would be substantiated with biblical support, and be elaborated on within the essay.)
