Spirituality/Religion-Based Business Ethics

 "Moral, Social and Business Ethics Issues"


POVERTY 

In the bible verse (Luke 16:19 - 31) " 19There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.  22"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, “Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'' 25"But Abraham replied, “Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.” 27He answered, “Then, I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them so that they will not also come to this place of torment.” 29Abraham replied, “They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.” 30 "No, father Abraham,” he said, “but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.” 31. The bible wanted to tell us to be good to each other whether your nationality and standard of life is different. 





LABOR UNION 

Genesis 2:15) “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it” It says that labor unions should promote work and have helped to bring about better working conditions for employees, because they are a good thing. 





WHISTLE BLOWING


(Proverbs  30: 10-11) it says that "10 Don't blow the whistle on your fellow workers behind their backs; They'll accuse you of being underhanded, and then you'll be the guilty one! 11". The bible told us not to talk to the other people behind their backs, they'll accuse you for being the guilty ones. 




ABUSING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR PROFIT


In (Isaiah 24:4-6) it says that  "The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth's inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left." This verse told us to not abuse the environment because there will be consequences for every irresponsible action. 




GRAFT AND CORRUPTION


(Hosea 9:9) it says "They have sunk deep into corruption, as in the days of Gibeah. God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins". In short, the bible wanted the people to stop with the corruption because there's a punishment for every sin that they did.
