How about for other fields of business? I chose the ethical issue of gender diversity in the workplace because I believe it is one that is still very popular and is still evolving‚ and can be viewed from

Their fraudulent attempts to absolve corporate reform of any culpability in our separate and unequal school system are an extension of the resistance that enforcement of desegregation faced in the decades after Brown v Board.
