Chinese Toddler Run Over, Ignored By Passers-By, Dies Amid Outrage - 0 views

  •  
    This article may not specifically talk about ethical issues. However, it is an example of a little thought I had. What if more ethical issues were taught/enforced in the work place? If people are learning the need to be ethical while they're at work around 8 hours a day, perhaps some of that will spill over into their every day lives and we may see less stories such as this. All be it in China. America has firms in China as well. We could be setting an example over there.

Unethical Rationalizations and Misconceptions - 0 views

  •  
    I think the opening paragraph says it all: "Discussions about ethical issues, not to mention attempts to encourage ethical behavior, are constantly derailed by the invocation of common misstatements of ethical principles. Some of these are honest misconceptions, some are intentional distortions, some are self-serving rationalizations, and some, upon examination, simply make no sense at all."

    I do have to disagree with the author's example of consequentialism. Normally, saving a woman from being killed would be ethical, however, going back in time and disrupting the time line (in my opinion) was not. Had he not gone back in time, he wouldn't have had an opportunity to save the woman and in the end, the Nazi's would not have won WWII. Also, in relation to the fallacy of "It's ethical if it's not illegal" - I don't believe that everything that is illegal is immoral or unethical. That is why laws are able to be changed - sometimes the law is wrong or unethical.

  • "If you are a good enough coach and public figure for a long enough time, you are allowed to be less morally vigilant, active, and culpable in protecting vulnerable children."

    Great article on the sandusky case and mainly about whether Joe Paterno should have been fired or not. A lot of ethical dillema here.

Ethics require more than following laws - 0 views

  •  
    OMG! The ethics and leadership programs developed by our nation's top business schools are failing our employers, our economy and our future. The scope of this failure is chilling. Of the hundreds of employees convicted of ethical or legal lapses in the past five years, virtually all had completed a mandated ethics training program!

One would thing there would be changes involving procedures and ethics in the work place. Could a company be helpless and ethical bankrupt with no hope of becoming a model of good ethics ?

Think Like an Entrepreneur, Act Like a Leader | Business Ethics - 1 views

  • Most of these people actually do know at the core the difference between right or wrong and they know what to do with it. They know how to intellectualize what they would do with it. They just don’t know how to deal with it in real time in a real place. When confronted by a situation and no experience and no practice, they default to places where they have never been. That is where you find people cutting corners, taking short cuts, and doing stupid things
