I think it is very important to know the ethical set of guidelines when you enter the work place. This guidelines are how and what the company feels and views as correct. Working for a company that has a different view of what is ethically correct can cause stress in your life over choosing between your beliefs and the company's. You may be asked to do something you view as wrong but is viewed as part of the job in the company's eyes.
I learned from the examples in class that these memos that dehumanizing language still exist today. I did not pick up on the fact that the Just document was talking about the Holocaust, I thought they were moving plants. I do understand why he may have written the letter the way he did as well. By writing it the way he did, he disassociated him self with the events that were taking place. He made the incident seem like it did not deal with people at all, which may have been a comfort for him.
As for my own ethical principles, I would definitely stay away from hurting people both emotionally and physically. While it will be tough to do, I also want to put peoples needs over making money for a company. In the world we live in today, a lot of businesses are focusing on ways to save themselves money without really looking out for their employees or even their customers. I would like to avoid this aspect of the business world and try and work for a company that really does have human needs at the top of their list instead of making a profit.
