A New Generation's Ethics

In a recent Deloitte and Junior Achievement Teen Ethics Survey, 71 percent of teens said they felt “fully prepared” to make ethical decisions in the work place; on the other hand, 38 percent believed they must cheat, steal, plagiarize and even behave violently to succeed in school.

This conflict between behavior in schools and expected work place behavior is becoming more prominent in our society today. Junior Achievement and Deloitte have partnered to create a project that will guide teenagers to make ethical decisions both in school and the work place.
