I reached out to Morgan Packard, managing editor of New Orleans Magazine and editor of St. Charles Avenue, to talk about how she handled receiving gifts or hanging out together on a theoretical “no-strings attached” basis. The interview led to an interesting conversation that proved ethics defined by the Society of Professional Journalists can be quite flexible as long as the journalist closely toes the line. It also showed that here is really no set rules to ethics and that it honestly depends on how strong a person’s code of ethics is and what situation he or she is in.

Buffett needs to focus more on ethical codes and compliance (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2013). The leaders of the business reveal their expectancy to their staff members, specifically when financial goals are involved or assignments that needs achieving (Anjum, 2017). However, business leaders don’t give a clear description of the standard of the organization concerning ethical behavior (Anjum, 2017).

The leaders don’t realize the importance of ethical behavior instead they are focused gaining profits (Anjum, 2017).
