ETHICS 232 FINAL HELP

[Gkoo 3]

Someone do these and I'll update parabellum or something.

 

I have 02:31:41 time left. (2hr 30 min)

 

3. (TCOs 1-5) Your employer asks whether you have completed an assignment that was due last week. Over the past three weeks, you have been completely inundated with new assignments and, as such, you have completely forgotten about this particular task. You know that if you admit to your supervisor that you forgot, you run the risk of being written up (again) and possibly losing your job. Describe how each of three ethical frameworks (deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics) would deal with this situation. Which ethical framework would you choose to follow? (Points : 50)

 

 

5. (TCOs 6, 7, 8) You work as a quality control specialist at a baby products manufacturing plant. One of the products that your company makes is a deluxe edition baby crib. The crib is surrounded by a thin netting. While doing routine testing, you notice that the netting easily tears and can cause a choking hazard. You notify your supervisor who is obviously reluctant to do anything because it would cost the company close to a million dollars to fix all of the cribs. What is whistleblowing? How does it relate to ethics? How does it relate to the law? What are some possible consequences of whistleblowing in this situation? (Points : 50)

When might the interest of the public conflict with the interest of a business?

Okay, I don't do this often but I feel bad for you, so here you go.

 

1.) According to deontology, it is your obligation to adhere to the rules that bind you. As such, if you follow this path you would need to inform your supervisor of the failed assignment, letting him know that you could not finish the task in time and face the consequences of your action. The morals of the situation come into play, as you must be morally right if you follow Duty ethics. For utilitarianism, you must make the choice that maximizes your happiness while reduces your stress. This is a little tricky, because if you lie about the assignment and get more time to work on it, your stress may increase due to workload. However, if you tell your boss you did not complete the assignment then your run the risk of losing your job and therefore reducing your happiness. The choice I would make here would be to inform your boss of the amount of work you previously had, and ask for a short extension so you may do the work to the best of your ability, thus increasing happiness while keeping suffering to a minimum. Finally, for virtue ethics the decision must be made case by case. If your own personal morals do not seem to be affected by lying then by all accounts, lying is certainly an option. However, if it does impact you then telling a lie will not help your morality at all. This form of normative ethics, gives the most amount of leniency towards certain situations and allows the persons own thoughts and feelings to go into decision making. All in all, my own personal choice to follow would be virtue ethics. While lying may not be a good thing all the time, there are certain situations it may be acceptable or not. It depends on what kind of person you want yourself to be, and it gives you all the power to decide your own fate.

 

2.) Whistleblowing is the act of informing the public or authorities of something negative that is being kept from them. Basically what this means is that if you know something, you tell someone to spread the news and shed light on the issue. In relation to ethics, this is a little similar to deontology, as it would be the morally right thing to inform the public of this hazard and potentially save lives, rather than save money. However, if you look at this from the utilitarianism standpoint, it might be easier to turn the other way and avoid all the stress and hope that someone else will find this error and act on it. The standpoint of whistleblowing from the side of the law is different. It has a lot of laws and legal protections that both help and hinder the act itself. Overall, it seems that there is a lot of protection against whistleblowing, but with the evolution of the internet it is extremely easy to shed light on issues to the general public. One of the most obvious consequences for whistleblowing in this situation is the amount of money the company will spend trying to right the error, therefor losing potential profit. Another major consequence would be the backlash from your supervisor who you went over his head, therefore losing his trust and potentially causing a major rift in the office/factory. All in all, whistleblowing in this situation seems like the logical and morally right choice to make.
