Ethics<br />
Definition:<br />
Based on core values, a set of standards for conduct in government, companies and society<br />
that guides decisions, choices and actions. 31<br />
Example in practice<br />
<strong>The</strong> state minister of Turkey, Hayati Yazici, has argued that previous failures in the country<br />
to deal effectively with and prosecute corruption has allegedly tainted the public’s<br />
perception of ethics, making it seem that corrupt individuals benefit from their actions. 32<br />
