Business ethics and just an ethics.

Last week there was one thing happened. We split into groups of five persons on a lesson, and started discussing the topics of our thesis works. And all of a sudden a very interesting dispute between me from one side and Benita from Germany with Alexandra from Moldova from another.

The disagreement was in the following topic: what is business ethics and what is it for? I won’t dwell on my opponents’ point of view – still it’s my blog – and express my own one.

I think and I’m really sure that the mission of EVERY business, of an any private company – to earn wad. The more you have – the better you are. And there’s no limit for a Real businessman.

Note. When I say “ethics” I mean the set of certain rules of behaviour. The one to follow these rules is good, pretty and wonderful. And these rules are constant, as the definitions what is good and bad.

So, every REAL businessman puts is own interests higher than the interests of whoever at all. That is why it is in businessman’s nature to cheat competitors, state, consumers, and employers – everyone at all – to make money. If it is profitable for a businessman to sell a high-quality product – he’ll do it with enormous pleasure. But if the product is harmful, but there is profit out of sales –businessman will sell it regardless of anything. It’s because of that to be good for state, workers, consumers – it is not a primary target for a business, as it’s in fashion to write in manuals about. TO make business good for a state and society is the primary goal for exactly a state and society. These institutions must push business within the ethical behaviour and make them run its business ethically. To speak about business ethics and corporate social responsibility is the same as speaking about a vegetarian shark, or herbivorous wolf.

The things I don’t like, the things that irritate me and the things I simply hate.

Well, I decided to start my blog with one quite obvious and simple topic: what makes me humpty in life. Of course, I can say that I’m always cool and calm, but unfortunately it’s not about me.

Generally, I should say, that my negative reaction and its extent depend on the person itself that emits the anger fluids in the air. If the person irritates me – I’m irritated about everything in him/her, and sometimes even more (but it’s only when I’m in a bad mood). And if a person is OK, I can close my eyes on some of his/her imperfection.

But I looked aside of the topic a bit. So, the things I don’t like:

• When people insert phrases in English while speaking in Russian;
• When the Cyrillic letter “Ы” is transliterated as “I” into Latin, and the Cyrillic letter “Ч” as ”4”;
• When a person asks me a favour, and after that he/she says in a ingratiating tone: “I don’t bend you down, do I ?” or “I’m so imprudent, I’m sorry”;
• When a person says “украинский” – “Ukrainian”, with a wrong stress – I’m ready to kill’im sometimes!!!
• The phrase “You are so nice”;
• Pasta, cooked more than an hour earlier;
• Beer with 3,5 volume of alcohol or less (you’re laughing I bet, but in Sweden the beer stronger than 3,5% is sold ONLY in special alcohol shops, you can’t buy the normal beer is simple supermarkets)

This is the stuff that is up-to-date. The list is being constantly changed and enlarged, so the updates are possible.

And after all I’ll tell you the following. I already see some of you asking “Nikita, what do you LIKE, what do you keen on? Why didn’t you write about it?” Well, the thing is like that. The stuff mentioned above irritates me, and when there's no above mentioned things around – I’m completely filled up with the lightest, kindest and most man-loving emotions in the world. Therefore in order to make me happy you just don’t prevent me of being happy.

First post

Hello my dear!

I would like to avow you – I’ve given away to the common internet-fashion to keep my own blog. Whether it is good or bad – well, it’s not bad, I would say. Especially, there is so many different stuff around, that I want to lock it in, and the umpteen thoughts in my head. Don’t think in any circumstances that I shall stop writing letters to you and start sending you to the blog web-page in answer to tell some news about me. My blog is rather just an attempt to write, to train of my style, just a practice of writing. An, of course, my blog will have my relevant ideas with the reason, and without it, that I, on obvious reasons, didn’t reflect anywhere.

Yours sincerely Nikita Barsukov.
