Etzioni was a respected ethics?1???expert [when he arrived [at Harvard].] He hoped his work (at the university) would give him insight?2?[into how questions of morality?3?could be applied [to places] (where self-interest flourished?4].)

3]. “[In many ways] things have got a lot worse [at business schools], I suspect.” Says Etzioni. 伊茲歐尼認為在哈佛商學院的經歷令他大開眼界，并說商學院里有很多他想改變的地方。“很多教職員工教授商務課程本身就是壞消息了，”他說。從開設課程教學生如何合法地篡改合同，到強化“利潤高于公共利益”的觀念，伊茲歐尼已見到很多使他搖頭興嘆的例子。而且由于他在商學院見證了所教授的課程，他對最近爆發(fā)的種種公司丑聞并不感到意外?！拔覒岩缮虒W院里的情況在很多方面還要糟得多，”他說。

Etzioni is [still] teaching the sociology?1???(of right and wrong) and [still] calling for ethical business leadership. “People (with poor motives) will [always] exist,” he says. “[Sometimes] environments constrain?2those people and [sometimes] environments give those people opportunity.” Etzioni says the booming?3?economy (of the last decade) enabled those individuals [with poor motives] [to get rich before getting in trouble].
