Yes, I do believe people who disagree in regard to normative ethical theory can still reach an agreement on practical ethical questions within the business world. I have had many bosses and many co-workers whom I have not necessarily agreed with when it comes to morals and values outside of work, however, in the workplace most people can agree on practical ethical questions for example sexual harassment, stealing, cheating, client/customer privacy, unethical leadership, etc. I have found that in the workplace you can become friends with people who hold completely different normative ethics than you but still agree on common goals for the business, in fact I think it is a great thing that people who may disagree and have different opinions on ethics come together in the workplace because it makes for different ways of thinking and diversity within the business.    reply to discussion please
