Tom Morris does a great job of explaining the different challenges of ethics we face on a daily basis. We as a society go through life with so many obstacles to overcome, and yet society has shown us that most of the time the obstacles dictate the outcome. We read Tom’s book which gives us so many categories to help us better understand the ethical actions people take during certain situations. The first part of this chapter starts us off with the title, what are the rules now, anyway? As we read this statement alone it relates to society in such a big way.
