A Brush with AIDS and Halsey: Case Study

“Two hundred thousand Americans are dead or dying” Two hundred thousand Americans, two hundred thousand brothers, friends, loved ones, all fighting a war; this war is not fought in foreign countries, this war is HIV/AIDS (“American Rhetoric: Mary Fisher”). Sadly, Mary Fisher is one of the many victims that are crushed by the heartbreaking diagnostic of being HIV positive, however, this was her alarm to the severity of the virus. As a result, Fisher dedicated her life to spread awareness of HIV and AIDS. In addition to the jaw-dropping speech, Fisher, has dedicated her whole life to the awareness of AIDS, through her store, biographies, non-profitable organizations, and many more. However, “A Whisper of AIDS” is the first domino in her line of work to break the “shroud of silence” known as AIDS (“American Rhetoric: Mary Fisher”).Fisher spoke from the heart, and as well as the mind in “A Whisper of AIDS”, which effectively touched the hearts of many and did exactly what she hoped it would, turned the whisper of the word AIDS into a shout spoken from numerous to prevent fear in the hearts of many. In order to show the dire importance of awareness of HIV/AIDS, Fisher, Effectively uses heartbreaking pathos, strong logos, and persuasive ethos.

The boss tried to justify why keeping silent was the best solution, and there was going to be a new liner out in one to two years to replace the bad products. At this time, Jacob was involved in a conspiracy to continue in the status quo so the company revenue with the faulty products would not decline, and not worry about the issues the problems would be solved in a few years. The ethical issue involved is client deception; to knowingly sell a product, and failure to respond to complaints about the quality of the defective products (Boatright, 2009). The fraud and lack of social responsibility to the environment, is very disappointing by Richardson Drilling. Hillary, Jacob’s boss, does not want outside sources to know about the problems with the parts. Discounting the inventory, where regulations are less restrictive, opens the door to corporate scandals, and environmental disasters. If I were Jacob, I would immediately inform management there is a potential issue which should be looked into regarding substandard parts being sold, and distributed. I believe if you are an ethical person, you should not have to warn people to beware; there ought to be trust with the company. A person selling something is morally obligated to inform the purchaser of several things: the value of the product, faithfulness to the client,

Option two can be justified due to the fact that it will produce the best overall results. The company image will be maintained utilizing this option. Although the company will be losing money on wasted product and labor, the consumers’ confidence will increase due to the fact that they will be ensured that safety is one of the key factors in our product. I believe stock prices will remain the same or increase once investors see how we reacted fast

Throughout the Age of AIDS film many topics that were related to AIDS were brought up that I did not know anything about before. I did not know that there could so many strings attached to a disease and have such an influence in people’s lives whether it was negative or positive.

When the AIDS and HIV virus crept its way into the human-race, it quickly, and without warning, claimed the lives of millions. Then when its destructive wake had finally been abated, it left behind several untold mysteries. Throughout the course of this class, all the new material we have been exposed to has added some unique piece to the puzzle of the AIDS epidemic. Each puzzle pieces have ranged from speculations on how the AIDS epidemic had begun, to what exactly has the epidemic done. We have also tackled the question and how it forced a change in society. Our newest piece of the puzzle is the documentary “The Age of AIDS,” by William Cran. Although this documentary did not surprise me in its content, it did, however, affirm certain types

According to a report published in the February 1998 edition of “Nature”, scientists identified what they believe is the earliest case of AIDs in a man from the Congo in 1959. (Lerner and Hombs 39) By the end of the year 1980, 80 men would have been diagnosed with at least of the opportunistic infections that are a characteristic of AIDs. (Lerner and Hombs 40) AIDs cases in the 1980s increased dramatically not only around the world but in the United States, primarily in larger cities like Los Angeles, New York City and San Francisco. The numbers of AIDs diagnoses and deaths spiraled out of control throughout the 1980s and towards the end of 1989 there were 117,500 cases of AIDS reported and 89,000 related deaths.(Lerner and Hombs 54) In the

1.     I would let a day pass and then request another meeting with Dinah indicating a sincere desire to work through the matter and the need to come to an understanding and agreement of how to work together and with the team moving forward. At that meeting, I would start off and thank Dinah for bringing the Partco matter to my attention. I would communicate with Dinah that I respect her strong feelings and beliefs behind her actions regarding the Partco matter but indicate that if she felt that strongly about the action step I planned to take, that she should have spoken again with me or another manager within our company instead of contacting the customer direct. She should know that by going directly to the

After a full review of the situation I’ve concluded the cost to create new molds along with the values of built up inventory accounts for less than 1% of Halsey’s annual sales target of $900 million. This is a minute expense to resolve a problem that could potentially produce a drastic outcome for Halsey and threaten the integrity of the products they sell. Disregarding such an extreme defect should be viewed as a corporate crime by contributing to the contamination of customers when the problem has been documented through complaints. The fortune 500

1. This case discussed Dr. Helene D. Gayle’s career that is fighting with AIDS epidemic, and stated that how Dr. Gayle successfully utilized the effective managerial leadership in her position. In my opinion, this case not only propagandizes that these infectious diseases, such as AIDS, STD, and TB, for humans and the whole world are still a huge challenge, but introduces that Dr. Gayle’s personal magnetism charisma and leadership on managing her teams and preventing AIDS all over the world. Thus, this case is very important because it teaches us that a public leader or supervisor who only has managerial skills is not enough; meanwhile, they

Valerie Young, an employee at Wisson, a cosmetic/fragrance company, is the troubled subject of ‘How Personal Can Ethics Get?” (Hellriegel & Slocum 563). Valerie finds herself in the midst of an ethical dilemma that not only has the ability to affect her but also her colleagues. An enthusiastic finance and marketing specialist eager to learn the business of fragrance, Valerie discovers misconduct on the part of her boss, Lionel Waters.

Nancy Smith resigned from her job at the pharmaceutical company after she was unjustly treated by the management of the company, whom did not approve her professional decision of not doing the clinical testing. She was punished for stepping up for what was right, and in doing so, management prove that they would not accept people who would go against their decisions, so they left her no choice but to quit. These actions led Nancy to quit her job, so even thou she resign from the company, this was result of the company's management behavior.

Deciding to cease the sale of the old product is the most obvious and ethical choice. It would eliminate the contamination of HIV. However, the company would suffer immensely from this. Although I would recommend to continue to sell the old product, I would do it as ethically responsible as possible. As a member of the Institute of Management Accountants, I have to abide by the standards of ethical conduct. This case specifically addresses the issue of integrity. This product transmits AIDS, but somehow we need to be able to continue to sell the product.

As an employee of the engineering department I would follow policy and not look for an easier way out, this employee who made this decision possibly faced an ethical dilemma. As stated in Kubasek el al (2016) “an ethical dilemma is a problem about what a firm should do for which no clear right decision is available. According to the text, it is the responsibility of both the business and the lawyer to make sure the ethical guidelines are met. When Volkswagen made the decision to release the vehicles with faulty parts, that decision also affected

Although advancements in AIDS research have continued over the past 2 decades, the misconception that people can contract the AIDS virus from sharing a drink is still prevalent. Aids is a major issue throughout the world and kills many people. One of the problems with aids is that it can kill people. A current solution for aids is there are medicines that people suffering from aids take and these medicines increase a person with aids life span. A future plan for aids is to find a cure so that people stop dying from aids. Aids is a recurring problem throughout history and it needs to be stopped so people stop dying.
