Abstract New intuitions into the genesis and impacts of entrepreneurs’ immoral measures can be obtained through observation to moral disconnection, a cognitive system that disables the self-regulatory process that prevents humans from actions, which are variable with their personal moral values (Gladston, 2016, p. 102). Outcomes that are acquired with a specimen of Chinese enterprises indicate that the trader’s motivation for monetary victory is linked positively to moral disconnection and that similar disengagement, alternately, is linked positively to unethical resolutions.

It is also stated that we are condemned by our freedom of choice and responsibility. We are also condemned to choose from alternatives in life.

Philosophy

Ambrosio’s lectures guide a person through the evolution and history of two western traditions that exhaustively addresses the question of life’s meaning. The hero figure is the derivation from Greek and Roman culture that focuses on the humanist philosophical tradition. The saint figure is the Judo-Christian/ Islamic theistic tradition that focuses on the religious aspects of life meaning. These figures are metaphorical, and they give the deep understanding that people need to know (Meltzer et. al., 1212) The hero’s universe is a paradigm of uncongenial forces of necessity and fate unresponsive to human desires.

In other words, intrinsically motivated people are rewarded with intangible gains, such as self-fulfillment, a ...

This happens because of an increased focus on the ideals of one being autonomous, working on their personal growth; marriage ceased to be so imperative to maintain as it was before, it “is no longer a social obligation” (Introduction to Divorce, 1). Instead of this, inside the society’s self-fulfillment perspective is merely one of the many possible ways to achieve such goal. Society also changed the ...
