The genous of ethics is that it's simple and user friendly. That holds true whether ethics are applied to life, sports, business or any venue. The idea to understand here is that society is growing - things change. If people want more and better and business wants to deliver, the "bottom line" should change to reflect this. If this is to include ethics and quality of life issues along with money the "bottom line" has to change to reflect this.
