Aquinas, then again, may really have tackled the issue in an unexpected way. Without agonizing over feeling regretful for not telling the pilot when she got some answers concerning the heart mumble, she would withhold the data so that the pilot can resign as he had arranged. In her brain it would be moral in light of the
In this case Honda is not liable because the safety instructions were clear in that the bikes should only be used off-road, while wearing a helmet. The boys ignored the written instruction and possibly parental instruction and an accident occurred. The manufacturer is not liable because there was no defect in the product and the written instruction were clear. The parents have to accept responsibility for the incident because the company displayed the right amount of consumer protection. Chapter 1- Ethics Question 1 Expectations for corporate behavior are constantly evolving as new issues arise as a result of changes in technology,
If the enemy did manage to create a flying machine then the empire had one to defend itself against them. Thus the emperor was not justified in executing the inventor of the flying machine. ….the most important thing to understand is that it is not the machine or invention which is the problem but it is the people that control it will determine whether it is used for good or bad
Long, the aluminum sheet was proven to have not been from Earhart’s plane. Ric Gillespie believes that repairs were made after Earhart’s first attempt to fly around the world and that the aluminum sheet was truly a piece of Earhart’s plane, but experts say otherwise. One expert who worked in the factory that manufactured Earhart’s plane states that in Earhart’s time, repairs that were made followed strict regulations, if the whole exterior of a plane were to be changed, it would not go unnoticed. Records do not show of such a repair. (Finding
In turn it seems that many of the negative aspect concerning drone technology fall under a violation of rights, and the efficiency. If law enforcement agencies around the country implemented drones into their departments not only would the agencies be able to get eyes on a situation more quickly but could also act as a deterrent because a criminal will never know where the drone is. According to (Copeland, 2011), the Federal Aviation Administration has pushed local
Sweeney should not let others give him advice. Make all the decisions by his opinion. | Without anyone’s influence, Sweeney is able to make all the decisions by himself. This can reduce decision process time and better performance on the mission. | As the least experience officer on the plane, Sweeney’s decision without other’s knowledge could be unwise and led to mission failure.
Gladwell ends this segment by emphasizing an important point about communication when he says: “what was required of Ratwatte was that he communicate, and communicate not just in the sense of issuing commands but also in the sense of encouraging and cajoling and calming and negotiating and sharing information in the clearest and most transparent manner possible”. Segment six shows what can happen when an airline pilot and crew do not communicate effectively. This occurred in the case of Avianca 052, and Gladwell shows that although the caption was desperate, the first officer did not communicate this to the ATC: he never said the word emergency”. In fact, the first officer spoke in an unemotional way with pauses that did not signal that the plane was in danger of crashing. Gladwell next introduces the concept of “mitigated speech” which was defined as “ any attempt to downplay or sugarcoat the meaning of what is being said.” Gladwell includes some examples of his type of speech, and he offers some important concepts about mitigation that are relevant to airplane safety when he says: we mitigate when we’re being polite, or even when we’re
Get the goddamn sail down!” (pg. 217) Storm tipped over their boat and although Jordan was the better swimmer, he drowned. Conrad blames himself for his death and that is the moment when he encounters his first big instability or problem.
If there is no threat to America by a conflict in Europe, or any continent, then America should mind their own business and let them settle the matter on their own. However if there is a conflict that was not a threat when it began but became a threat as it continued then America should intervene. For example the events of September eleventh 2001, when terrorists crashed into the twin towers in hijacked planes. Then the conflict in the Middle East became a threat to national security and America was right to intervene. However the civil war in Libya in 2011 was not a threat to America and protestor in Libya had made it clear that they did not want, or need help from westerners.
People’s emotions are heightened, and accidents happen. While it is clear that Israel did not want the United States to monitor its progress during the war, it seems pretty unlikely that Israel would risk a military confrontation with its American allies. As was noted earlier, it would be difficult to determine the exact identity of an isolated ship from the height of a flying jet aircraft. Maybe if the United States had notified Israel of the Liberty’s presence, or if there had been better communication between the Israeli pilots and the Americans onboard the vessel, this accident might have been
