      Overall, the results of the study indicate that business students and non-business students have similar attitudes towards business ethics. However, education span as well as taking an ethics course seems to influence these attitudes substantially.

      The result is clearly stated in 1 concise sentence to conclude all the finding and numbers. This shows that after doing the calculations with some more data, there is actually no differences between business and non business students toward business ethics, however, keep in mind that this is a small survey with only 619 students in Iceland, which shows that the conclusion is only partly true.

      Despite that students rely on their pre-understandings in ethics (Emerson & Conroy, 2004, more recent findings suggest that business students are more unethical in both behavior and attitudes towards ethics than non-business students (Smyth & Davis, 2004). Similarly, Sparks and Johlke (1996) concluded that non-business majors have higher ethical standards than business majors. Additionally, business students have been found to be more tolerant of unethical behaviour and questionable business practices than non-business students (Crown & Spiller, 1998; Hawkins &Cocanougher, 1972; Ibraham, 2012; Roig & Ballew, 1994), while cheating behaviour is more common for college students who are anticipating a career in business in contrast to those planning non-business careers (McCabe & Treviño, 1993).

      This is where the study shows a clear results. It shows that business students are indeed are more involved in unethical leadership as well as having higher tolerance with unethical behaviors comparing to non-business students. Which further emphasizes the need for contextual studies for business students about ethicals in business

      Ethics represents the framework for an individual's conduct linked with moral principles (Miesing & Preble, 1985). Business ethics involves both morals (right and wrong) and ethics (good and bad) (Bageac et al., 2011) and it deals with values that shape decisions (Rajasekar &Simpson, 2014).

      In this vein, our paper focuses on the insights from tertiary, profession-oriented education that may signal how the secondarylevel education practices should be shaped.
