"        "1.支持者會認為, 高道德會贏得reputation and trust; 第一, 高道德生產高品質的產品以及service,顧客穩定stable share of the market; 第二, 高道德會讓員工滿意度提高(公平，平等). 從而attract those applicants with high ability and keep the employees loyal to the company---最終導致高的productivity.
2.但在更多的情況下, 高道德也許不equal to maximal profit. 比如,a, 如果把道德放在第一位的話,企業的executive很可能無法執行裁員活動complete the normal administration, such as raising the price, reducing the superabundant staff…  b, 高道德的話，很可能採用最高標準的環保生產——這樣很不是cost-effective.   總之，Following such undue concern about ethics, the company may find it impossible to survive in the radical competitive market, let alone to gain large profit.

2.The government should also force the business to involve in the project. Because the government itself is incapable of doing so without concrete knowledge of each certain industry. In the long run, doing so will also benefit the business.
3.Admittedly, the workers should not rely on others to help them to adjust to varying situations. They themselves should adapt their skills and knowledge to the change of the industry and of the society.

"        "1. A conformist can achieve any real success especially lasting success. Real and lasting success needs innovation and hard work. Just to conform does not make any sense. Through imitating others, one can only become an artisan-painter rather than an artist; without any innovation, a scientific worker can never be acknowledged as a scientist.
2. Likewise, no one can ""get rich"" in business merely conform to the existing practices.
3. However, what I mentioned above does not mean that conventions have no value at all. We should not only know the conventions but also have a deep insight of it, thus getting the information of the domain that indicates what kind of innovation can be made and how make.

1. 一方面我們的立法越來越完善不斷向著消除歧視和偏見的方向發展。這從強制的方面要求人們尊重和其他人的不同
2. 另一方面，隨著技術的不斷進步交流的不斷深入人們對別的文化也有了更深的瞭解。而瞭解就會使得不同文化的人們提高對對方文化和行為的自發的非強制的尊重。
3. 誠然現在還有很多的種族的性別的等各個方面的歧視。但是我們很高興地看到事情在向好的方面發展。
