Greetings!

A while back, we did a series on ethics in business. This week we take a look at an ethical issue that touches upon basic human rights. It's business's response to the moral imperative expressed so memorably in the United States Declaration of Independence: “All men are created equal!”

Today's Lesson
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY   機会均等

Explanation

  • In business, equal opportunity is the right to be judged based on your qualifications and experience rather than on the color of your skin, your religion, the country you were born in, etc.
  • ビジネスにおいて equal opportunity とは、肌の色、宗教、出生国などではなく、能力や経験に基づいて評価される権利、つまり、機会均等のことです。
