The ethical and social implications in the decision revolve around the fact that Whirlpool did not consider the best interests of all it's stakeholders. The effect on the local community and vendors in Evansville stretches far beyond the effects of just the plant workers losing their jobs. So while the company may have met its economic responsibilities in it's attempt to maximize profits and meet consumer price expectations, it fell short on its ethical responsibilities. 2. Whirlpool has many legal and ethical responsibilities in the plant-closing example.
If company Q cannot trust its employees, how can they expect their employees to trust the company? Company Q’s management seems to have forgotten that its employees are also members of the community, and that they have friends and relatives who are members of the community, and are effectively its client base. RECOMMENDATIONS Company Q needs to implement an ethics program. If managers and employees work together to build a relationship of trust and pride in the company that they work for, it will go a long way towards eliminating the possibility of theft. Once the trust factor is resolved, company Q needs to seriously take the time to talk to the customers that frequent each of its stores in the different areas of the city.
A final area that we will look into is that of a decision made by company Q to dispose of old and expired food products, instead of agreeing to a request of local food banks to donate the items. The reason company Q made this decision, according to their spokesman, was that there was “a concern of lost revenues due to possible fraud, or theft of food by employees and claiming donation.” This is a poor excuse by a company with the resources to enable proper oversight of the donation process. So what can be done? Company Q has 3 examples where a lack of vision and
this will reduce the chance of the rational choice theory, which was put forward by right realists. This would be because if it is harder for a deviant to commit a crime then they would weigh out the pro’s and con’s of committing the crime, and realise that the cons are too much. For example a bus terminal in New York City approached crime by using situational crime prevention due to the fact that the poor design of the terminal attracted deviant behaviour. After reforming the bus terminal crime rates fell. For example the large basins where homeless people used to bathe were replaced by smaller basins, making it harder for them to abuse this property.
Mark Bradford Case Study #11 Race, Politics, and Low-Income Housing 1. City manager Thompson should have been proactive about informing the public, as well as the graves manor residents. Unfortunately there has been distrust among minority citizens and the government that has been elected to serve them in American. When a sensitive topic such as this scenario is at hand one must, as city manager predict some sort of public out cry. When the manager failed to inform the residents as well, as the residents, one could be inclined to feel disenfranchised and taken advantage of.
As a result of this riot, the government may enforce new regulations to prevent intoxication occurring at future games, because alcohol was considered an accelerant in the outbreak. As well, the government can potentially lose profits caused by a decrease in support from the fans. The overall city is a stakeholder to the hockey team. Bad publicity was projected globally as news coverage of the events following the game was aired. This event was mistaken as riots in Libya over the oil (CBC News community reacts to Vancouver riots, 2011).
EST1: 310.2.1-05: Ethical Issues in Business I am responding to the statement concerning Company Q and your current attitude towards social responsibility. In my opinion, it seems your company has unfortunately shown an overall negative attitude towards its social responsibility and I would like to provide feedback on areas where you can improve. Company Q is known as a small local grocery store chain. Recently, due to financial losses, you chose to close two stores which were stated to be in higher crime rate areas. It is also stated that after many years of requesting health conscience items you are just starting to offer a limited amount of these products, which are known as high margin items.
Examine the sociological explanations for the lower rates of recorded crime in rural areas compared to urban areas. (21 marks) Within urban areas there may be higher rates of crime as there is hardly any sense of community. This could be because many urban areas fall under the category of zone 2 which is the ‘zone of transition’ (Shaw and McKay). Crime rates may also be affected as there is a higher level of immigrants new to the country that are put in zones of transition and then move when they start to earn a better living so this high population turnover leads to less social cohesion thus resulting in people turning to crime. However Morris doesn’t believe that his study is reliable as his 5 concentric zones are not applicable to the UK.
Would the jobs lost in the closing be the only effect? Explain. The closing of the Coca cola industry would affect the town’s economy because this jobs needs more and more employees so in one way it would affect the people too and another way is that people won’t get the benefit that they were getting, and it would also ruin other business. No the jobs will not be the only problem because of the closing it would also affect people, industries, business, and more.  Give an example, not from the text, of an industry that is likely to locate close to inputs and explain.
This is essentially to say that communities that lack in any sense of social cohesion and mutual interest witness a significantly higher risk of criminality. To present their theory, Wilson and Kelling use the example of a building with a broken window that remains unrepaired. This image of disorder then encourages further incivility, telling residents and other passersby that it doesn't matter and that no one cares. This encourages further uncivilized activity which eventually balloons the neighborhood into a slummy crime-filled area of lawlessness. In run down neighborhoods, other examples of social disorder include damaged or boarded up homes and buildings, graffiti and vandalism, loitering or solicitation, and disorderly conduct by people in the area.
