"It is true that even individuals who see themselves as ethical can sometimes make questionable moral decisions in a business context. This paradox can partly be explained by the influence of unconscious biases absorbed from one's environment and upbringing. The communities and organizations we are socialized within unconsciously teach norms and assumptions about such things as fairness, privilege and social hierarchies. Only with rigorous self-reflection and openness to alternative perspectives can people recognize how unconscious biases share even well-intentioned decisions and actions within business environments."
