The integration of ethics into software development faces significant challenges due to market fundamentalism in organizational practices, where profit often takes precedence over ethical considerations. Additionally, the critical influence of practitioners' individual backgrounds on ethical decision-making remains underexplored, highlighting a gap in comprehensive research. This is especially essential to understand due to the demographic imbalance in software roles. This study investigates ethical concerns in software development, focusing on how they are perceived, prioritized, and addressed by demographically different practitioners. By surveying 217 software practitioners across diverse roles, industries, and countries, we identify critical barriers to ethical integration and examine practitioners' capacity to mitigate these issues. Our findings reveal pronounced demographic disparities, with marginalized groups - including women, BIPOC, and disabled individuals - reporting ethical concerns at higher frequencies. Notably, marginalized practitioners demonstrated heightened sensitivity to ethical implementation and greater empowerment to address them. However, practitioners overall often lack the support needed to address ethical challenges effectively. These insights underscore the urgent need for reforms in software education and development processes that center on diverse perspectives. Such reforms are essential to advancing ethical integration in software development and ensuring responsible computing practices in an increasingly complex technological landscape.
