Ethical Decisions in Business, Military, and the Government. In all of our interactions, there are decisions to be made in relation to the people with which we interact. Most of those decisions are based upon the social rules specific not only to our society, but to the position, gender, age, relationship, familiarity, and context in which the interaction takes place with the other person. While the vast majority of these interactions require little of us other than to follow those pre-established social guidelines, many require us to make and act upon our sense of morality. There are three contexts in which such situations occur which maintain a slightly 'altered' moral context. Business, government, and military environments carry with them not only vestiges of the generally acceptable social rules and ethical expectations, but also maintain an ethical subset of rules which is specific only to that environment. People who work and live in those environments are frequently faced with conflicts between societal ethics and their environmental ethics. It is the purpose of this paper to provide a brief examination of the types of ethical challenges that people face within the contexts of business, government, and the military.
