Week 3 – Case Study # 1
Synopsis: The case begins with Jim McIntoch the vice president of finance of Amalgamated Forest Products having a conversation with Frank the manager of corporate reporting. Jim is upset with Frank and is confronting him about the decision he’s made about going public about a financial analysis report that Amalgamated Forest Products will present to the legislation. Frank is stating that the report is falsifying information about the how much the operating cost would be if the company would need to establish pollution control of the discharge of wastewater.

In return Frank adds that his issue is not only with overstating the operating cost, but also that the company is hiding the fact of the damage they did when dumping waste into the Wanawashee River and how it has affected many people in the community and still till the day people are drinking polluted water from their doing. He also points out they can all face jail time if it’s discovered that they were involved in the polluting of the river. The dumping of the wastewater has serious implications not only for the company but also for the many innocent people who are drinking the water that is polluted. Jean as the president of the company should be using the six factors of “Ethical Intensity” (38-40). He needs to take into consideration the magnitude of the consequences that will be done if he insists with presenting an incorrect analysis. It’s clear the company really does not follow a code of conduct and as a leader of the company he should understand the social consensus especially of the town of Northlake which has a population of 10,000. How they would view the company if it was discovered what it did. There needs to be a change in the company on its view on ethical principles. Frank also needs to remind both Jean and Jim the laws set in place against retaliation against whistle blowing. Its clear HR needs to get involved and possible he may need to get some

“Once a dentist stopped me from asking a Nazi officer about my parents and I was really mad at him” This sentence refers to felix’s character because during a war where Jews are being killed and you are a Jew if you go around asking Nazis if they have seen your parents chances are you are going to get yourself murdered. FELIX'S NAIVETE “Once a dentist stopped me from asking a Nazi officer about my parents and I was really mad at Him” is an example of Felix’s naivete. Because Felix thinks just because he told the nazi officer a story he thinks the nazi cares about him even though the nazi has probably killed lots of Jews.

If the founders claim there is no need to seek licensing for the UNIX software, that the additional 15,000 licenses are part of the business marketing model to secure additional funding and that no financial implications are pursuant to the action, and that WSIB was an oversight
Right now women are fighting for the right to be treated as equals to men; to not be seen as objects or weak. Similarly, the colonists fought against Britain to be seen as being capable of being an independent country. Ironically, Kelly stands for women’s rights but believes that blacks do not deserve equal treatment than white people. Furthermore, the colonists fought for their freedom yet suppress blacks as slaves, who deserve the same right to freedom. Therefore the purpose that West has in mind is mocking and scorning Megyn Kelly, and conservative women for their views on equality and rights.
The question of what is truly the nature of justice remains an unanswered question as noted by Bertrand Russell in ‘The History of Western Philosophy’ wherein he notes that Socrates was unable to provide a convincing rebuttal of Glaucon’s arguments on justice, and neither have all the social philosophers since, been able to do. Amartya Sen, in his book ‘The Idea of Justice’, has

An ethical dilemma is a situation in which one need to select from two or more morally acceptable choices or between equally unacceptable actions when one option prevents selection of the other (Ong, Yee & Lee, 2012). An example for an ethical dilemma in the moral values related to health policy is the end of life issues. One of the end of life issues includes withholding and withdrawing the medical treatment. Passive euthanasia is the act of withdrawing life supports or interventions needed to keep a patient alive (American Academy of Physician Assistants, 2014). This is usually done according to the wish of the patient. Patients who do not want to receive resuscitative treatment will opt out of these treatment measures and obtain a do-not-resuscitate
Frank, manager of corporate reporting at Amalgamated Forest Products, has threatened to go public with information regarding a falsified report on the effect of effluent controls on the discharge of wastewater from pulp and paper companies, which has angered his boss, Jim McIntosh and the company’s president, Jim Letourneau.

If someone overhears all this and is friends with

An ethical dilemma is an incident that causes us to question how we should react based on our beliefs. A decision needs to be made between right and wrong. I have experienced many ethical dilemmas in my lifetime, so I know that there is no such thing as an ethical dilemma that only affects one person. I also know that some ethical dilemmas are easier to resolve than others are. The easy ones are the ones in which we can make decisions on the spot. For example, if a cashier gives me too much change, I can immediately make a decision to either return the money or keep it. Based on Kant’s, categorical imperative there are two criteria for determining moral right and wrong. First, there is universalizability, which states, “the person’s
