What are the top 3 ethical issues that we need to be prepared for in 2019?

We have few good tools to guide our ethical inquiry. Many people confuse holding a published code of ethics with the ability to reason ethically about the morality (the good and bad) of the situation.

As our organizations become more diverse, we need tools that can help us understand that the other's person's behavior might be acceptable in some situations.

Related to tools, too, is the idea that most people (in the model described by UNESCO's Riel Miller) are "futures illiterate." Although our society is changing and will continue to change, most people don't have the tools to anticipate the range of possible outcomes of future scenarios.

Thanks for this topic, dear Amany.
Ethics is a topic relevant at any time, and project managers, as practitioners and professionals need to become comfortable in acting ethically.
The rise of the internet of things, the need for professionalism and for the management of projects with remote teams will impact more and more the activity of project managers.

As we approach the end of 2018 and look forward to 2019, project managers, change makers and leaders, what are the top 3 ethical issues that we need to be prepared for?
/author/quote

In 2019, be prepared for the top 3 ethical issues of the world to face makers and leaders and project managers to create change.
"Top 3 Ethical Issues" :
How to Face Our Mudra (Waste) ,
How to Face Our Planet (Earth) , and
How to Face Our People (Homosapien and AI).
Project Managers will integrate the quadruple bottom-line as we look to commercial projects in the aero & quantum spaces.
It will become important to incorporate our technologies, knowledge, and processes to ensure the efficient and manageable systems we create, manage, and redefine are balanced and productive.

For me I think most important now are:

1. End of Racism and Favoritism at workplaces.
2. Compassionate to all people around us and genuinely understanding their problems.
3. Give utmost importance to fair Wealth distribution in society and try to alleviate poverty.

The term Ethics is a relative one.

Online hacking is considered non-ethical by hosts, but there are Ethical hackers (?).
Similar analogy can be found for each and everything.

The term often used by many is the "corrupt politician", but to me political leaders have a large mass of people behind them. So if politician is corrupt, so will be his followers.

Had the world were ethically perfect, there wouldn't have to be pockets of femine, sufferings, war, ethnic violence etc.
Let's hope 2019 may bring happiness to many.....

Privacy, while not new, will remain a hot ethical topic for 2019 and it will get even hotter. Because privacy and security will forever remain at the opposite sides of the scale it can be considered an ethical cancer. Many valiant attempts to resolve it is made but progress is slow and painful.
