The implication of ethics in business can be best depicted by the article published in New
York Times titled “Trump’s Plans on Businesses May Fall Short”. The article provides a platform
for discussing about the ethical guidelines and moral theories. According to the New York Times,
the president of the US said that he would put his entire business empire under the trust and care
of his two eldest sons and take other steps in an attempt to remove any suggestion of a conflict of
interest with his decisions as president (Craig & Lipton, 2017). This decision by the president is
viewed to be unethical because he was putting the company in a blind trust. This decision is also
immoral since he says that he would be making the holding decisions by himself to prevent
conflict of interest. This means that as a president, he would make favorable decisions alone
