Question

A behavior that does not conform to accepted beliefs and social norms is defined as ________.

• A. ethical
• B. unethical behaviour
• C. irresponsibility
• D. business ethics

Answer 1

The correct option is B unethical behaviour

Unethical behavior is an action that falls outside of what is considered morally right or proper for a person, a profession or an industry. Individuals can behave unethically, as can businesses, professionals and politicians.

Unethical behavior is behavior that is contrary to our own moral principles as well as the principles admired in the community one lives in. Moral principles, such as fairness, honesty, dignity, and concern for individual rights are of profound importance.
