Describe an event that you participated in or observed in your workplace that was unethical. (Don't name the company or the individuals involved.) If you have NOT observed anything unethical in your workplace, describe something you have personally observed in a business as a customer.
Four dimensions of business behavior described 1) Behavior that is illegal and unethical 2) Behavior that is illegal yet ethical 3) Behavior that is legal yet unethical 4) Behavior that is both legal and unethical did this behavior belong to? Explain.

Relate this to Misplaced corporate loyalty (A misplaced sense of corporate loyalty might cause an employee to do what seems to be in the best interest of the company, even if the act is illegal or unethical) and support your selection with facts from the situation.
Do you think you handled the situation as well as you could have at the time? Explain.
