An expose of bad businesses and their unethical practices

Scary results indeed. I wonder if its really the pressure to succeed or the perception that unethical people seem to get ahead driving the responses. Sounds like life imitating art imitating life.

Kimberlee -

It does indeed sound like "life imitating art imitating life." It has been my general analysis for some years now that bad ethics beget bad ethics. That is to say that the more our youth see their political leadership, sports role models, and other popular public figures behaving badly, the more likely they are to behave badly. We certainly have no shortage today of bad actors on the public stage.

This is disturbing. I remember the Junior Achievement club in high school, and the members were the cream of the crop, honor students, etc. That was over 20 years ago. I wonder if these JA stats have anything to do with "government schools."

Suzanne -

It is my understanding that the poll was done scientifically across a full spectrum of JA students. The makeup of students in the program has probably changed over the years, but not dramatically enough to cause this sort of phenomenon in and of itself. These proclivities are apparently seen across the board. It is indeed dismaying.
