3. Werhane goes on to connect these two core aspects of ethical evaluation specifically to ethics in the business environment. "What is unique or at least interesting about business decision-making," she writes, "is that it is inherently contextual ... while at the same time it demands the application, or setting out, of more general principles or rules."

10. Robert Solomon notes, "What it means to be part of a community is something more than cooperation, something more than having something ('a commons') in common. It is, among other things, to identify yourself and your interests in and with the community. It is, simply, to become a different person." Robert C.
