No. It resides in the realm of ones conscience. Nearly all people who act unethically first attempt to rationalize their bad behavior in order to salve their conscience for what they realize is really wrong.
In fact, whenever one employs rationalization, it is a sign that they know the behavior they are attempting to justify, is questionable at best, and probably dead wrong!
The definition of ethics is knowing what is acceptable an unacceptable. To manage ethics means to create a code or policy for all who comply to ethical behavior. Ethical management pertains to training those who are corporate professional, or management so as to better guide those working under them.
Ethics are just a set of expected codes of behavior in the society. Someone may take them up or choose not to. Laws must however be adhered to and a hefty punishment may follow if some laws are broken.
Normally, a business with have an ethics committee that monitors business ethics. If there are any concerns, the committee will have a meeting to investigate the problem.
Avoidance of unethical behavior is always an issue of culture and control. Culture comes from the top. Are people told ethics are important and counseled when something seems unethical? Or are they told "Meet your quota, whatever it takes"? Controls are required to identify unethical behavior. If management does not establish adequate controls to catch problem actions then management has sent a message that "anything goes here". I don't know anything about Countrywide but these requirements for avoiding unethical behavior are nearly universal.
There are many advantages of ethics. You are more trustworthy if you have ethics. If you are business owner, customers are more likely to want to do business with you.
Social ethics is learned through culture, while human behavior is what is influenced by social ethics. Human behavior is also based on culture.
In brief, not all human behavior is learned behavior. I believe it is a combination of both innate (or genetic predispositions) and social driving forces. I believe we are born with certain traits and natural propensities that play a role in our development particular to learned attitudes, beliefs, values, and ethics systems.
