How to create an ethical
organization
Transforming
individuals?
Structural/
administrative
changes?
– But isn't formation of individuals the
work of a community?
“It takes a village to raise a child.”
And isn't ethical formation done in a
lifetime?
– To transform individuals thus always
requires an enabling culture.
Without doubt, an ethical
individual is partly formed
by an ethical culture
(e.g. BOC, DPWH, PNP)
►In other words, an ethical
disposition is developed over
time
deliberately
Culture
– Colere: to cultivate
– Shared aspirations, world view, attitudes,
values, usually manifested and cultivated
