Good things do not happen to good people in the world of this story, and bad things do not happen to bad people. Even more, Jake behaves as though he is, as Comte might say, alone in an indifferent universe. He shows no indication of fear of punishment for his actions and choices. This character knows there will be no divine retribution. As readers, we find ourselves reacting in a very primal way when Jake drives away from the scene of the crime having gotten away with such abysmal behavior.
(1) When it otherwise meets the statutory definition of a tail lamp. The statute does not require that a vehicle's tail lamps be in perfect working order. It only requires "good working order." When two lit light bulbs were sufficient to designate the rear of the vehicle to a vehicle travelling behind it, there was no probable cause to make a stop for a traffic violation and the stop was unconstitutional.” (Wisconsin Legislative Codes, 2013) As well if this was discovered later that the light was not broken and the stop had gone differently, the officer would have just let you go. The “pat down” was legal because the “stop and frisk” or “terry stop” was a temporary detention.
The rescuer is not regarded as having assumed the risk of being injured and the courts are reluctant to find that his injuries were due to contributory negligence . The Law Reform Commission issued in total twelve recommendations in its report on the Civil Liability of Good Samaritans and Volunteers. The first recommendation made by the commission was: “The Commission recommends that there should be no reform of the law to impose a duty on citizens in general, or any particular group of citizens, to intervene for the purpose of assisting an injured person or a person who is at risk of such an injury” . This recommendation doesn’t impose a legal duty to act citizens however it does go on to describe a range of circumstances where by there is a duty to intervene and rescue. These have been imposed by specific legislation from decisions made by the courts.
First, the company leadership knowingly replaced the naturally occurring ingredients with the synthetic ingredients without changing the label on the packaging. This action violated the regulations set in place in the 1960s allowing consumers to have adequate and truthful information about the products they purchase. Second, the chemicals the company used to replace the natural ingredients are known to cause serious physical side effects including heart attacks and strokes. These side effects are a result of the stronger potency of the chemically generated ingredients as opposed to the naturally occurring ingredients the company originally utilized for the products. Finally, there is a dangerous lack of oversight by FDA regulators into the safety violations of companies such as Chemins leading to a reduced rate of public health and safety.
This raises the issue of responsibility. In making an ethical judgement, it is not enough to decide what is right to do or what should have been done in a certain case. It is also necessary to decide to what extent one is or was responsible for doing what is right. It is certainly wrong for the driver of a car to crash into another car parked by the side of the road; but if the driver had lost control of his car because he suffered a heart attack or if he didn't see the parked car, he cannot be blamed for the accident, unless he could have avoided the circumstances that led to it. In the case of an individual act, assessing responsibility is relatively straightforward.
As such, I feel that Ford and Firestone handled stakeholder issues poorly, and although certain measures were implemented after the incident, I feel that they were insufficient, tardy and unhelpful in regaining customer loyalty. As a result, outcomes of the crisis were less than desirable. From this, we are able to gain many valuable lessons so that these mistakes would not have been made in vain. The largest shortcoming of how Ford and Firestone handled the situation was that they refused to accept responsibility for the product failure. Instead, they shifted the blame to each other, citing the wrong tyre pressure as a reason.
The moral issues about the Ford Pinto case is that they just focus on their own profit without taking into consideration of human life. Although there were various ways suggested where they could actually make the Pinto’s gas tank safer, however Ford itself evidently reasoned the increased cost outweighed the benefits of a new tank design, thus they refuse to implement the safety improvements (Shaw, Barry & Sansbury 2009, pp. 97). This is an immoral thing to do. Based on (Shaw, Barry & Sansbury 2009, pp.
The NHTSA was also to blame for their delayed response to investigate the potential dangers associated with Firestone tire tread failures. This proves that these organizations were not concerned with the well-being of their consumers and their actions were completely unethical. Firestone tires have been linked to a
Also we have to note that the customer may accept a replacement but they can be resolute on getting a refund; also the customer doesn’t have to accept the credit note for spending on other products at the Marriott they can claim their refund and the Marriott is not allowed to put up a sign saying ‘No refunds’ This act protects the consumers legally and allows them to freely purchase their goods and services, without having to doubt the description or the quality. If the law was not present, then other business could scam the customers; which would affect the performance of all businesses there wouldn’t be any trust between businesses and the customers. Supply of goods and services act 1982 The aim of this act is to protect the customer
Also, environmental impacts that may have a negative impact on the business may not be noticeable until the later stages. This makes it hard for the business to account for these as they may not be noticed until it is too late. This almost defeats the purpose of the analysis as it is supposed to eliminate uncertainty however a certain amount will remain even after carrying out the analysis due to the fast changing circumstances. In addition to this, the process of carrying out a PESTLE analysis may be costly as most of the information may come from external sources and therefore it can take a while to collect all the relevant data. This adds to the problem of it being ‘outdated’ by the time it is analysed as by the time the information has been analysed it may have changed.
