10. Concluding Remark “Developing the habit of doing the right thing benefits you personally, it benefits you professionally, and it benefits your company or organization. ... Of course, the fact that acting ethically `pays off’ in these ways does not mean that this is the reason to act ethically, more philosophically, acting ethically is important not because it happens to bring about personal or professional benefits, but rather, for its own sake.” Rowan, John, and Zinaich, Jr., Ethics for the Professions , Wadsworth, 2003, p. 10 * ‹#›
