Adapting to Changes

Adapting to legal and ethical responsibilities may seem like a daunting task, but is vital in the business world. This is not something that needs to be finished; it is a constant work in progress. There will always be new laws, rules and regulations that need to be addressed, and doing so in a timely manner will mean that the business doesn’t fall behind the times.

A good example of legal and ethical adaptation is in regards to gender. Gender bias was very prevalent until just recently, but has changed a lot in recent generations. Common words like businessmen and stewardess were found to be gender biased and have been changed to business people and flight attendants. These words are just a couple out of many that have been changed within my lifetime.
