Part 1:Reading

A) Comprehesion

Ethics is the set of moral rules that the professionals in any field are expected to respect when they deal either with each other or with the public. In business, ethics represents the attitudes that individuals and firms should comply with in the actions they perform and the decisions they take at every level of their realisations. Such a philosophy does not exist everywhere because it needs the existence of important conditions to apply it.

In societies where both political and cultural conditions exist for making everyone obey this practice, the main principles that those engaged in the economic branches should follow involve a good number of the qualities that have always served as the basis for civilisation. Among them we find the obligation to be honest and lawful with the spirit of fair competition which imposes the acceptance of new comers in one's sphere and forbids the recourse to the use of monopolisation not only in the spheres of manufacturing and selling goods but also as regard the services which are provided to the community
