I teach about ethics and morality. Now there are many people who have ethical and moral beliefs and there are far fewer who actually practice those beliefs.

Here we have an outstanding example of “applied ethics,” ethical practice in real life. Scotty McCreery was giving a concert when he saw a man (allegedly?) strike a woman. He stopped the concert until the fellow was escorted out be security and then he told the crowd that a man who hits a woman is a coward.

Wow, that was the act of a real gentleman. We don’t see that much these days. I admire him for his actions and wish him well.

This is a good example of business ethics. Mr. McCreery interrupted a money making endeavor to do what was right. There was nothing in it for him except that it was the right thing to do. And I know there are cynics who would say he did it for click bait or for the publicity. I am not that cynical and I think we could do in our national life with a lot less of it. I firmly believe that he was outraged and acting in that moment. And those moments are the times where we find out who people are.

Scotty McCreery is a good man, a gentleman and a man of honor.

What he did is a good example of business ethics in action.
