We believe that both the employee and the employer were unethical in this case because it illustrates a degree of moral intensity. The employee had a due diligence to the employer and should have brought his concerns to higher management instead of blogging it on a low profile under a false name. The employer had a due diligence to the employee and should have expressed their concern to the employee. The employer could of asked the employee if he could have deleted the blog or edit it so that the name of the employer was not mentioned. The degree of harm that could have happened to the company was not justified because when a search was made in an Internet search and the blog was not easily accessible in the public domain and this does not give the employer the just cause for termination of the employee.
Enron is a prime example of how the temptation of greed and the actions of irresponsible behavior can grow and spread like an infection from a corporate boardroom. “In this case, the infection spread to the energy firm’s accountant’s at Arthur Anderson, who looked the other way and later tampered with evidence.” (Stancavage, 2010). All those involved at Enron should have had a complete understanding of ethics, which in this case was classified as an avoidance of questionable or criminal acts. But it can be about excellent customer service or asking “what does an excellent boss-employee relationship look like?” (Stancavage, 2010). It had been determined that there are, in fact, companies out there on U.S. soil that actually understand and accept the concept of ethical behavior within an organization.
It should focus on results and find the underlying cause of the problem to resolve this from excelling over time. Carefully make sure that they are not getting in over their heads and take smaller steps before jumping into to something that can ruin them.

By informing investors and consumers of this wrongdoing, this is the first step to fixing the problem at hand. Making sure that all involved in this wrongdoing are reprimanded for their actions and noting that to investors and the public.
The author has described it in a narrative but realistic manner rather than presenting his personal point of view. Both in language and culture, the fundamental moral message that literature hopes to disclose is that through reading and learning from life and our surroundings, we can all magnify our moral attitudes and practices. Regarding this point, the main intention here is to be aware of this rich legacy that writers like David Mitchell have accomplished, in order to ignite a moral spark, and a new way of thinking upon new generations like mine. Looking at different perspectives, this whole essay demonstrates that morality is treated in a conceivable way; the limits of our own imagination are forsaken to create unique artistic pieces, transmitting an overall

About the most respectable aspect of the article is that the author does not attempt to make any ethical claims (ethos) against the largely correct observation that computers and digital information have indeed transformed much of human society. In fact, if anything, the ethical perspective might be among the strongest arguments against the author’s premise. The author’s first logical argument is that the notion of an “information age” is an inaccurate characterization simply because information can never replace “stuff.” Similarly, the author explicitly rejects what he claims are the three main arguments for the characterization of computers as giving rise to a new age by virtue of (1) their capacity to create, store, and deliver information; (2) to overcome geographic distance; and (3) to act intelligently. With respect to the first two, the author is clearly wrong, because the capacity of computers to create, store, and deliver information has revolutionized everything from advertising and supply chain management to social networking, dating, and warfare.

Corporations make profit off the products they sell to the consumer.The products they sell provide the consumer with a desired form of relief he or she wants.No corportion would sell a product that would harm the consumer ,however some products sold harm the environment and in turn affect the consumer. Therefore it is up to Large corporations to minimize the amount of damage their products inflict on the environment. Corportions could produce products with materials that release less toxins and harmful agents into the environment when disposed of.If the product cannot be created from 100% bio-degradable and non-toxic materials, corporations should find alteranative measures for limiting the damages caused by the harmful byproducts of the products they sell. Example, corporations could develop stations in which consumers could bring in their used up products for safe disposal at little to no cost. Every corporation is created in order to make profit and provide a service or a product to the consumer.Most consumers do not understand the complexity of the products they buy and the possible harm they could cause.Since large corporations created such a product, they alone have the knowledge of how to safely dispose of their product.Therefore corporations should provide information on their products to aid the consumer to understand the possible dangers of the products they purchase and how to dispose of them safely.

Lucent wanted the merger to be equal rather than a takeover by Alcatel. The negotiation failed because the two companies did not exchange the task related information, stating how much control Alcatel would take in the future. Alcatel’s chief executive, Surge Tchuruk, reassured the shareholders that the new company Alcatel-Lucent is “truly global and has not equivalent today and won’t in the future”. 2.
