| Abstract: | This article compares ethics in countries with different cultural dimensions based on empirical data from 12 countries. It is shown that dimensions of national culture could serve as predictors of the ethical standards desired in a specific society. The author divided societal cultural practices into desired and undesired practices. Ethics could be seen as the means for achieving a desired state in a society: for reducing some societal characteristics and increasing others. A model of the impact of cultural dimensions on desired ethical standard is proposed. |
