Aerotek's Fair, What Is Fair In Business

Currently there’s news which is creating a question in the public’s mind that is this the correct thing done by Uber, a rideshare app producing company, which passed a strange order that any passenger or driver should not be carrying any firearm into the vehicle while they are on drive and if in case they see any violation there would be serious action and they would not be allowed to access the Uber’s services anymore. Are you wondering is Uber safe for drivers and how to use it safely? If yes then this is the place where you can find the answer for this question:

In the article “Created Equal,” Milton Friedman argues that it is important for us to recognize how much we benefit from “nature’s unfairness”. He goes into greater detail how an elite fighter such as Muhammad Ali makes millions of dollars every time he fights, but the people who watch his fights in return receive entertainment. Friedman used this example as one of the benefits of nature’s unfairness but other than an example he is trying to say that some people work harder than others and that they should be rewarded more than others. Friedman also considered how luck and chance plays a role and the way decisions made could either benefit or work against a person, he mentioned that people with an equal amount of chips can be big winners

Uber is a great company that provides a variety of services. However, in providing a vast service Uber has encounter many ethical issues. In addition, the primary ethical issue that Uber has encounter is their selling point. Furthermore, Uber selling point consists of Uber drivers being informed promptly of an individual desire to obtain a ride. The issue that has risen from this is the fact that the Uber driver must be log in on the app and the app must be open for both services to be provided at an optimal level. However, according to Bruce Weinstein an expert that strongly believes that drivers are putting their selves at a higher risk of being involved in an automobile accident. In addition, many experts have expressed similar concerns as Weinstein did. In addition, according to American Automobile Association's Foundation for Traffic Safety and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute “taking their eyes off the road is deadly for drivers and nearby individuals”. Due to the fact, when a driver eyes are not on the road and sudden change in traffic occurs, the driver could be involved in accident.

Equal Opportunity, occasionally called equality of opportunity, is a contentious yet significant decision-making standard with no exact definition concerning fair preferences within the public domain (Austen 1999). Although it normally depicts open and just contest with equal possibilities for achieving employment without any discrimination, the idea is intangible with a broad meaning. It is difficult to determine, and execution leads to issues as well as differences concerning what to do. It is

As humans, most people’s idea of fairness is self-interest. It’s fair when it happens to someone else, but when something happens to them, the world sucks and “life isn’t fair”. Well, that’s because it isn’t fair. The modern person is hard working and accomplishes and reaches for everything they want in life, because life isn’t fair and it’s a competition. For example, Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby, (while it may have been illegal) made his money selling liquor. It may have been wrong, but

There are now more than 50,000 Uber cars driving around New York City. As the use of these ridesharing services continue to rise, so, too, does the potential for crashes; therefore, the government has stepped in to regulate certain aspects of ridesharing services. Although these regulations may be helpful in reducing the number of Uber accidents that occur, it may be less effective in addressing some of the other dangerous issues that can arise. The prevalence and some examples of these issues are listed below.

Today, we all live in a society of different social classes at different levels. The social classes are (in order) the lower class, the working class, the middle class, and the upper class. With such a diverse range of people with different social and economic statuses, there is a controversial issue on whether or not we should have economic justice. Economic justice is defined as a concept; which would allow equal opportunities for everyone to receive an equal amount of pay for the equal amount of work. Many believe that not only is it possible but also desirable, practical and necessary to have economic justice, while many others believe just the opposite. I for one don’t think it’s fair that in today’s world the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. After comparing both arguments though, I’ve come to the conclusion that economic justice is not possible, desired, practical or necessary.

In the book Dexter says, “Humans invented the idea of fairness to level the playing field and make things a little more challenging for the predators (Lindsay 102).” This makes sense because naturally, the fairest way possible, individuals with advantages over others will survive. Society has changed the game today by creating such a plethora of technology and services available to everyone that perfect equality is almost in grasp. It no longer matters if you were born dumb or smart, or weak or strong, or conniving or honest because now we have the Internet, gyms, and laws. The fact that these services are open to everyone is fair.

Distributive justice, which is generally identified as “economic justice, is about fairness in what people receive, from goods to attention. Its roots are in social order and it is at the roots of socialism, where equality is a fundamental principle.” Typically, individuals who believe that they are not getting their proper or “fair” share of something, they will usually do whatever means necessary in order to achieve what is suppose that is fair or they deserve. They will then pursue other systems of justice. The standard of equality is also located in the notion of “fair play as opposed to the fair share of distributive justice.”

What is the standard measures of being fair and who determines the balance of equity?

Lesley Jacobs’ work “Pursuing Equal Opportunities” first sets out to provide a theoretical model from which to provide normative foundations for proposing social policies that regulate competition for scarce resources, as well as for the purposes of critiquing them. Jacobs advocates for equal opportunities as a regulative ideal, and the model he uses to justify this is three-dimensional and radical in this way as it includes the addition of “stake-fairness” to “procedural fairness” and “background fairness,” which previous models have not fully articulated. The addition of stakes fairness allows for Jacobs to set the foundation for his equal opportunities ideal in opposition to John Rawls who objected to equal opportunities on the basis of natural inequalities.

Uber website states that they provide liability insurance that covers any accident that occurs from when the trip starts to the finish. Even if it was the other car fault and they do not have proper insurance Uber covers everyone in the ridesharing vehicle. But the drivers are required to still have auto insurance because of what that is what every state requires. In my academic journal Jennie Davis expresses on the other hand, drivers are uncertain if Uber will cover them. Also, that in certain cities they treat their policies differently and may not cover. But they feel the customers are fully covered in any circumstance.

Fairness Principle. It is based on the belief that stakeholders who have a vested interest in the firm should be treated fairly. There are four types of fairness: reciprocal fairness, distributive fairness, fair competition and procedural fairness. Reciprocal fairness addresses the issues of treating another party fairly and having the other party treat the firm fairly. Distributive fairness is based on the assumption that the allocation of finite resources within the firm will be distributed fairly based on maximizing the benefits of those allocations. Fair competition focuses on the fair treatment given by the firm as it interacts with its existing and potential competitors, Procedural fairness deals with ensuring that parties that interact with the firm are treated fairly from a due process perspective.

Opportunities for Uber are endless. Uber can increase the marketing from internet usage, disposable income, alternate transportation, and even special transportation for medical reasons. Special transportation can used to treat anyone who has a medical condition. The drivers can get certified in CPR or something. Every company in the world has room for improvement and all opportunities are possible. Its up to the company and drivers for Uber to contribute in order to take advantage of all opportunities. There is a growing market for Uber and people look forward to not driving everyday. If drivers continue to be reactive instead of proactive the opportunities for drivers will decrease tremendously. “On June 22, 2017, filed a lawsuit against Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp was filed, in order to hold them personally liable for the wages owed to California Uber drivers.  Under California law, individuals who advise companies to classify workers as independent contractors, who are later determined to be employees, are personally liable for the companies’ wage violations.  Although Mr. Kalanick is no longer Uber’s CEO, we have filed this case to ensure that he and others are held personally responsible for any liability we can establish against Uber (http://uberlawsuit.com/)".

Uber is an App-Powered on-demand car service provider for smart phones. Notwithstanding its very unique name, investors have begun to take note of Uber during the past year as it has stolen market share from traditional transportation companies. We will analyze the value proposition of its technology and examine the differentiation Uber creates to stay ahead of both potential competition and the various cab laws and regulations across the United States and Europe.
