Bribery: Is Bribery Ever Justified? Essay, Research Paper

CONCLUSION In conclusion bribery is not an issue that can be answered immediately at hand considering the type of situations that regulate its ethical character. We need to remeber that bribery is a constant ethical issue. And becuase briberyare only sometimes acceptable it is in a moral free space. Even with a deductive definition for bribey and its set of guidelines I cannot conclude that bribery is always unethical. However, if I was to limit business practices solely to our mother country(United States of America) I will stand by my argument that bribery is unjustifiable.

Consider the two roles, to be a “realist” is to justify bribery because “international business is a rough game and no place for the naive idealist,” or the role of a “moralist” that believes that cultural relativity is no excuse for unethical behavior.
