Essay / Christian Ethics and Secular Views in Business Practices by Dake). Leaders should always treat their employees and fellow business leaders with respect and dignity and should never violate ethical codes of conduct. Christians have a Lord and Master in heaven and should never treat people unethically, because our Lord and Master will judge us for it on the Day of Judgment. It is important for everyone, even non-Christians, to follow universal values, morals and ethical behavior in all their business activities. This article will talk about three different secular views of business ethics, explaining why it is important to practice common standards in the business world. Utilitarianism Utilitarianism is a way of looking at ethical decisions without applying religious beliefs. Its founder was Bantham and Mil (Ruddell, 2004). ). His method involves determining whether an act is the Christian way to treat people, the way we want to be treated. Common Standards are similar to this verse because everyone knows how they expect to be treated in business and therefore should treat others the same. People clearly understand what is right and wrong, what is acceptable and what is not in the business world. Utilitarianism is a form of moral universalism in which people understand the difference between right and wrong because they understand universal norms and local norms (Mele and Sanchez-Runde, 2013). People's understanding of universal norms and local norms allows them to make ethical business decisions. Another example of common standards is shared values. People use their shared values when making business decisions because they understand what is important to them in the group in which they do business.
