The George S. May International Company provided the six basic guidelines to help corporate employees judge their actions (Miller, 2014). Without these guidelines an employee would be left to judge themselves with no standards. One individual’s interpretation of what is ethical may be different from another individuals. This would cause chaos in the corporate environment. The first guideline is The Law. Is the action you are considering legal (Miller, 2014)?

He compares a lot of what he does, and what he does it to his father. His second hero, and the one he has molded the company around is God. Our company tries to eliminate heroes. They want all employees to be equal. However I think we all have that one person we compare ourselves to. My hero is not anyone I work with. My hero is a special individual who wasn’t afraid of anything. He never backed down from a challenge, and in the end he done everything morally right not hurting anyone for personal
