Ethical lapses distract U.S. workers

It seems to me that ethical lapses are a huge problem that many people do not know about. This became evident after reading the opening paragraph which included several shocking statistics. I believe that these lapses need to be of a higher concern since they friction, dissonance, and distractions at the work place. The article states that Americans are split in their decision to deal with these distractions, whether by themselves or through their manager. If I was in a situation with such distraction, I would really hope that it would not impact my daily work. This is why I would contact my manager as a solution immediately. I also feel that the survey conducted is a great way to try and target the root of the solution.

Web writing vs. Paper writing

Two major ways that people express themselves are writing on the web and writing on paper. I believe that these two forms of writing are similar in the fact that people still have to state their feelings and opinions no matter where you physically write them. I think they are different in the fact that writing on the web can be quicker and easier than writing on paper because of the ease of several tools such as spell check and the backspace key. When transfering a document formally read on paper to the web, you must consider the format and style of the paper because articles will appear different when presented on the web.
