Response to Mallory Beam's Post...

“Do you feel as if marketers are going to become more ethically and socially responsible in the future or stay focused on strictly making money?”

I think it’s great that companies/schools are starting to focus more on ethics. By addressing ethics at the lower levels will help develop values for the future. I don’t exactly know how this will all play out though. Money rules everything in this day in age. I feel companies are starting to pay more attention to ethics, but I don’t know if abiding by ethics will overtake making money. I hope that people will focus more on “what’s happening” rather than receiving a bonus, but only time will tell.

I feel we’re taking the right steps in developing and re-establishing ethics. By publishing articles and teaching classes that relate to workplace ethics will only help further this process. Will ethics ever come before money now a days, only time will tell. But all in all, when the day ends, I feel most people are more concerned with the paycheck.
