Ethics in business begin as far back as Plato and Aristotle. Responsibilities at work, which include adherence to duty, self-control and transparency against those who want to bribe or make secret deals are good ethics and values. For many people, religion provides the basis of an ethical code. “Thou shalt not steal” obviously this also applies in the workplace.

Answer the following questions in 150 to 200 words:

How do you determine which information is noteworthy? Noteworthy means interesting, significant and important, so to make sure that the information I use for my research paper is noteworthy, I should research the author, and find information on his qualification, and expertise, choose articles, and books that are published by reputable publishers. I should also avoid bias information, and check the publication dates of the information. I need to make sure my information from my sources are interesting, significant, and important.

· How do you determine whether to summarize, paraphrase, or quote a source?

Quoting is the exact wording of the source material you use, paraphrase is a detailed rephrased in your own words that should mean the same thing, and a summary is a compacted version of a passage it presents only the most important or significant ideas of the passage.

You should quote when you feel that the author has said something that is outstanding are something you feel that would be memorable to your audience. However, you should not have a paper full of quotes because that just tells what the author said and nothing you have said even though it is an easy way to include your source material you should use quotes sparingly.

You should paraphrase or summarize, when the wording of the source is not as important or significant as the meaning of the source.
