c. Scott Sullivan – The fact that Mr. Sullivan asked Cynthia and team to hold off on reporting their findings and that he would take care of it next quarter leads me to believe he knew what was going on all along. I believe that Scott really thought that he could take care of it next quarter, shifting funds or firing Cynthia and her team, had Cynthia had taken his advice and held off she may have found herself and her team on the chopping block and facing federal charges. 2. Using some sort of graphic, Compare and contrast Cynthia Cooper’s actions with IIA guidance. Where did Cynthia violate IIA ethical standards?
Team members received emails from Hugh McBride requesting to list his board of directors’ choice. The team members encouraged to develop “flowery” presentations for approval from Beltway Investments. Because the board of directors operates independently, the CEO has recommended items that would be considered as a conflict of interest and unethical. Team members Betty B. and Betty W. have been awarded the opportunity to be a whistle blower and not become part of the negative behavior. Each of the two should address the wrongs that have been asked of them.
Scenario 1: 1. Bryan should stick to his instincts and return the clock. No one enjoys upsetting the ones they love; but keeping the clock could portray the company in a negative light, and possibly cost Bryan his job. 2. The ISM code of standards says that all forms of manifestations and commercial bribery should be denounced.
After reviewing and studing the first ethics case briefly and discussing with my group members carefully, the answer to the questions is obvious. Scott ought to tell Tom that he will inform the superior to prevent Tom to go ahead. Tom and Scott 's choice, taking care of the problem themselves rather than paying someone else to dispose of chemicals, is improper course of action. Assuming Scott has a chance to appear at a court hearing, he should frankly and unreservedly confess, state, testify true guilty action what ABC or Tom took, without concerning violation to his former company and head. And reasons for these answers will be discussed in the following paragraphs.
I recommend the company should respond to the former employee’s charge of constructive discharge by first apologizing. This former employee has had a negative impact on their life do to our company, and an apology would not hurt the situation. The government has various laws and statues pertaining to constructive discharge, management needs to avoid anything that could be misconstrued as discrimination in the work place. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to processes and techniques of resolving disputes that fall outside of the judicial process (Alernative Dispute Resolution Law & Legal Definintion, 2011). Legally, this could save the company bad publicity, a great amount of stress, and money that isn’t necessary to spend.
The employee must show that he informed management about his issue and given then time to try to resolve it. It is important to let the company try to resolve the problem by showing good faith. This will show that if he qualified for an office position we could have placed him there but he did not let us know of his issue until after he quit. Steele v. Offshore Ship Building, Inc., 867 F.2d 1311, 1307 (11th Cir. 1989) the court ruling stated, "To prove constructive discharge, the employees must demonstrate that their working conditions were so intolerable that a reasonable person in their position would be compelled to resign."
By doing this, he will not only have to work for a company he dislikes, he will save a lot of lives as well since nobody is going to be smoking Greyarea’s product anymore due to discontinuity. This will also lead to a better and happier society, and that is what utilitarianism is all about. As for being a Deontologist, according to The History of Utilitarianism of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the word deontology comes from the Greek word deon, meaning “duty.” Deontology is the normative ethical position that judges the morality of an action based on the action’s adherence to a rule or rules. It is the ethics of duty where morality is duty-based. If Fred was a deontologist, then he would have no choice but to keep doing the assignments that were assigned to him by the company he is working for because that is his job and he is obligated to them no matter the
In Obedience to Authority, Milgram introduces an intriguing idea about obedience and its limitation through an experiment. His skepticism of the devastating incidents like the Holocaust, triggered the experiment to measure the willingness of people to obey the authority. Throughout the experiment, Milgram could conclude that although people do not favor obeying the authority, they still obey. The historical figures, such as Martin Luther King and Plato, have distinct idea about authority and obedience. So this result influences the different set of social relations introduced by both King and Plato: Milgram’s result support Plato’s ideas of ideal society while it King’s idea opposes Milgram’s Result.
This example of nurture is perfect because Victor says that he is not born with these traits of patience, charity, and self- control. Through nurture from his parents he could be taught these rewarding skills and traits to better him as a human being. Another instance of nurture is, “I had gazed upon the fortifications and impediments that seemed to keep human beings from entering the citadel of nature, and rashly and ignorantly I had repined”, (Shelley 21). Right after this quote in the book Victor begins to talk about how rewarding it is to self- teach and have a good head on his shoulders because of his father and mother. The next example of
Rules such as: deception, protection of participants and the right to withdraw. Participants were deceived by description of task because he did not want to give away the true nature of the experiment. Participants believed they were investigating punishment and learning to which they gave full consent but the study was on obedience. However before undertaking the experiment Milgram spoke with psychiatrists to determine whether people would be obedient and follow the instructions, they predicted that most subjects would not go above 150 volts, while 4% could be expected to reach 300 volts. The results contradicted the prediction and 65% of normal working class men continued to the maximum voltage.
