Provide examples of criteria and factors you would consider before responding on a micro versus macro level. Be specific. Give examples.

Describe business ethics and its importance and talk about the assessments.  300 words. 

Self-assessments are a beneficial tool to provide one with more insight on why they are the way they are. During week one you will complete three self-assessments in this course related to ethics. You will record your results on your ethics portfolio.

Based on your ethical assessments completed for this course during week one, what are your initial thoughts on how your individual results compare to have you view ethics personally and how you view ethics in business. You are encouraged to share some specific examples of your assessment results to support your opinion. However, if you would like to keep your results private, you can speak to your results in general terms.
