Just Business Report Essay

Reading the book provided Business by horse parsley Hill, it was very interesting to go through and through the topic of Christian ethics for business. Looking at different scenarios that managers be energize to confront and it shows how nerve-wracking, heart wrenching and also guilt producing that it could be. The definition of ethics is the study of should and of doing the right thing. The three main spiritistics that were presented and emphasized in the watchword God is holy. God is serious. God is love. Hill also talked more or less integrity, fair play and compassion that mirror holiness, umpire and love. I loved how Hill supports his points by having Bible verses. For example he writes the salt and light of the world (Matthew 513-16) is the third force for good. I agree with many of the points Hill says such as we cannot serve two masters at the same sequence (Matthew 624) and it specifies that we cannot serve some(prenominal) God and m whizzy. They were also talkin g close justice procedural rights that focus on fair processes in decision-making. strong rights are what procedural rights conk to protect. Merit links the concepts of cause and effect.contractual justice is limited to three duties we must not violate a negative injunction by causing harm to new(prenominal)s, we must applaud procedural justice and we must fulfill our contractual promises (Hill 46). Love is a universal word and many would consider it to be the centerpiece of Christian ethics (Hill 53). Love includes empathy, mercy and self-sacrifice. Empathizing with others would include by celebrating with their triumphs and shouldering their pain. Mercy is sort of hard to do because it takes action on their behalf and takes initiative in forgiving. In my experience, there are times when I do have annoyance forgiving concourse, yet God gave me the strength to forgive the person. This will likely come up more often while taking compassionate of business. He also shows vis uals such as the tables and drawings that make it easier to get the inwardness of what he was talking about. Part Two False ExitsThis addresses Dual pietism, Law, and Agency which they are known as bogus exits because they bank deposit ultimate ethical authority in human instrumentalities business culture, brass and corporate government rather than in Gods character (Hill 67). Dual morality rejects the notion that universal principles of right and wrong make it (Hill 69). It also helps me have a visual when he shows examples of CEOs and what kind of decisions they have to make and what would be the ethical thing to do. Law is another false exits, when unity presumes that if an action is legal, it is still morally acceptable as well. there are times when there are many people just follow the law and assume that the law is right and the ethical way. there are flaws in the system and Hill shows a diagram in page 98, figure 6.1 illustrates the tension. Acts that are both eth ical and legal moral philosophy - Acts that are unethical simply legalLaw - Acts that are both illegal and unethicalAgency is the third false exit that negotiation about the problems that arises when the values of the employee diverge from those of the employer. It was intriguing to learn about the legalistic purist, the accommodative purist. These few chapters opened my eyes to see what kind of false exits that people use in the business world. Now I am sure of what people could use as false exits.Part Three Topics truthfulness and Deception is more common in the business environment but it is quite difficult concepts to apply. Honesty builds trust, establishes community and protects the dignity of the audience (Hill 125), which allows partners to desire on each other and fosters community and respects each ones dignity. He also talks about deception and how justice condemns deception and it could lead to disaster and consequences. No right to hear the truth, exaggeration, and ambiguity are more deceptions that people use in the business environment. The other topics that were discussed were Concealment and disclosure Employer-Employee Relations Employee Rights Discrimination and Affirmative Action the surroundings and Property. The topic that stood out to me was the Environment because I have learned about different ethical counts such as the anthropocentric view and the biocentric view 1 and 2.Hill also explains what the Role of Business is that even script makes it clear that our task is to responsibly steward Gods being in the hear and now (228) and there are times that one would have to make difficult decisions. These topics have given me a pertly perspective towards business. Overall, Just Business, by Alexander Hill, was an outstanding book to assume especially when one is planning to go into the field of business. It was interesting to see how business runs with the combination of Christian ethics. I would highly recommend for other studen ts to read this especially if they are looking into business. It was a great fortune to read what it is like to be ethical in the business world, in comparison, to what it is like to be not ethical in the business world.ReferencesHill, Alexander (2008).
