The author builds upon this concept by stating that "most ethical virtues are treated as matters of personal preference. The basic ethical rule is that individuals be able to pursue whatever they find rewarding as long as they do not interfere with the actions and values of others." $($pg$.55).$ The author then notes that such self$-$interest is akin to the child$-$like Level $1$ stage of moral growth.

To apply this concept to business, please note the research conducted by George England which found that younger managers tended to be more individualistic, displaying the following characteristics: They

Place less importance on organizational goals

Place less importance on co$-$workers and more on themselves

Place less importance on trust and honor

Place more importance on money, ambition, and risk

Are slightly more pragmatic

For this discussion, I would like for you to a$)$ respond to the dilemma of developing shared moral norms in a pluralistic $($i$.$e$.$ engagingly diverse$)$ society, and b$)$ discuss your thoughts about the impact that this has on business values, business trends, and ethical decisions within business settings.

As always, be bold, yet respectful. You did a great job in the last discussion. I really look forward to reading your thoughts on this complex topic.
