- Explain the difference between ethics and morality.

Morality refers to a person’s personal set of principles which they adhere to as they conduct themselves each day. These morals may be the result of upbringing, religion, or other personal factors.

Thus, morals come from internal factors and ethics come from external factors. There may be some overlap between the two. For example, murder is illegal and thus unethical, but can also be immoral if a person believes murder is wrong because it says “thou shalt not kill” ...

Chapter 1 – Original Post

I agree with the core challenges highlighted for a non-profit organization but I would like to argue that the other two critical challenges in a non-profit organization include the misuse of organizational funds and the exploitation of non-profit organizational platform increasingly for personal benefits such as networking and tax evasion in developing countries.

The corrupt government officials allow entrepreneurs to use a registered non-profit channel for certain business interests such as image building, networking with experts, tax evasions and others.
