This is the students post:Philip Morris is very important in the business world. Philip Morris pulled the wool over the whole world eyes about the harm related to smoking. The people who use the product knew about some of the risk of smoking. They length they went through to cover up the health and systematic conclusions. In the end it was best for the company to come clean about the truth the information that wasn't given, and the money that was you to cover it up. Your ethics comes into play when you have to make decision that may go against your character. When the company held on to the information that is very important to people health that use the product your ethics and character comes into play. In order to save company money you put the people who use your product more risk. Their is always a negative outcome when you lie about people health and and the money you use to cover up that lie. Because of the falsefy document had a negative outcome in shareholders money and their reputation in the community. Ethics is your conscience decision.
