I think everything said was very reasonable. However, think on this,
suppose you added a little content? I ain’t suggesting your information isn’t solid, but what if
you added a post title to maybe grab a person’s attention? I mean What is Ethical Behavior? | Brad W. Merrill is kinda vanilla. You should look at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post titles
to grab viewers interested. You might add a video or a pic or two to
get people excited about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

Great story, Frank. And it really does illustrate what we are talking about.

In the Fall of 2011, I was presenting an overview of the finance major to a group of honors students who had been accepted into the College of Business and Economics but had not yet declared their major. I would have the students for three, 50 minute sessions, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
As I do in all of my business classes, I began Monday’s session by explaining that the objective of every for-profit business is to make money for the owners of the company now and in the future and that the only way to accomplish this objective is to create value. I then went on to illustrate the creation of value by purchasing a piece of paper for $0.01. I generally have to turn away offers of a free piece of paper from students who missed my opening premise and then reject prices of $0.25, $0.10 and $0.05 before agreeing to pay the $0.01. Once the class acknowledged that the specific piece of paper in question has a value of $0.01, no more and no less, I proceeded to write on the piece of paper finishing with bold strokes that left no doubt that I had signed my name to the paper. I then folded the paper and offered it to the class.
I let the bidding rise until a young man, who we shall call John, offered $1.00 for the paper. I accepted John’s $1.00 and surrendered to him the folded paper. John proceeded to open the paper, smile, refold the paper and place it in his pocket. Neither John nor I disclosed the contents of the paper to the class.
On Wednesday, I returned to class and asked John if he was ready to return the paper. He told me that he had sold the paper to which I responded “Great (I love capitalism), what did you get $1.50? $1.75?” Much to my surprise the young man sitting next to John (we will call him Michael) spoke up and said in a noticeable disgusting tone “No, he got five bucks!” I then handed Michael $2.00 and he returned to me the paper. I then read to the class what was written on the paper:
The holder of this piece of paper will be entitled to receive $2.00 from DeGeorge in the Honors Student Orientation Class on Wednesday, October 19, 2011.

Recognizing that a magnificent teaching opportunity had just been handed to me, I delayed my planned discussion on the Capital Allocation Process, financial markets and careers opportunities in finance to ask the class a very simple question:

Was it ethical for John to sell the paper to Michael for $5.00?

Very true I am sure since I am not familiar with how different legal entities are treated in the Phillipines.
