When faced with an ethical dilemma , one question that one can ask oneself is : what is the best option in terms of practicability that must be taken ? The idea of practicability can be determined or defined at least in terms of the immediate usefulness of the option in the given situation . For example , when one is faced with the situation of choosing between lying in to secure the

The community 's assistance with the company , or its deficiency , should always be considered in crafting company policies , decisions and actions

Moreover , transparency with the business operations of the company is also a major concern as citizens can for a request of the company 's records among government offices as well as the companies themselves under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA ) given particular stipulations .
