An ethical violation that you have personally experienced

Identify either an instance of what could be considered an ethical violation that you have personally experienced in the last 12 months (e.g. an executive describing company policy in a very public way, but behaving in a manner inconsistent with the statement made) or one that you read about in the news. Describe what you believe the ethical violation may have been, explain why you believe the action is indeed an ethical violation, and try to describe why the individuals involved might have taken the actions they did. Explain whether this a case of a good person in a bad situation, or something else?
