Case 3-1 The Parable of the Sadhu

If you would look at the theory of cultural relativism, it states that a company should adopt the ethics of the

our companies. Values are the beliefs of what are most important to us in our lives. Ethics

Corporate values are ‘the operating philosophies or principles that guide an internal conduct of the organization and its association with its clients, partners and shareholders’. It is also a fundamental and long-lasting belief that specific mode of conduction highly valued by the organization’s membership’ according to IBM corporate responsibility report (2002, What is the value of company).

How do ethical values shape behavior in organizations? According to Saleem (2014), ethical values and behaviors of an organization are made up of organizations institutionalized philosophies along with the moral ideologies of its members. In addition, the codes of ethics help to enhance the moral reasoning of employees while shaping their behaviors towards morally questioning unethical situations. Organizational leaders are encouraged to build cultures of trust with leadership who establish concerning goals employees pursue y setting examples for others to follow (Crosbie, 2008). The leaders whom are able to build training and development throughout their organization helps design and build relationships characterized by collaborative behaviors those results in mutually beneficial outcomes (Crosbie, 2008).

The Parable of the Sadhu is a story of men climbing the Himalayas that run into a moral dilemma. These are not just any men. These are groups of men from many different cultural backgrounds. As they are climbing the mountain they run into a nearly naked Indian holy man that is near death. The moral dilemma comes into play when they are forced to make the decision to backtrack down the mountain to save the man and probably never reach their ultimate goal, or ignore the needs of the desperate man in order to fulfill their personal desires. By looking at the situation and what the men did it is clear that they acted through the ethical thought process of egoism and social contract. They acted

He can see that others are scared of trying to say in the they live. He will agree with Ayn Rand’s Essay over moral judgment, she discusses the issue of what people are doing wrong, how they are suppose to act. Not to be ignored or undermined. Equality 7-2521 will likely agree that a man’s morals cannot harm another man’s morals. They are not to be defined on what others think of them, they have their own thoughts and have freedom over which culture they fall under. “I covet no man’s soul, nor my soul theirs to covet.” (page 96) Everyone has their own thoughts and that is something Equality 7-2521 will connect with very easily. It marks a new era of mankind, a thought that matters. Equality 7-2521 has surpassed the mind games and he easily escaped with his dignity, not falling in line of the primitive

The passage states, “The helicopter managed to evacuate one of the two climbers.” The other climber could not be rescued due to the conditions. The passage also states, “they got one climber off and they crashed attempting to rescue the second one. Ranger Nick Hall, a climbing ranger at Mount Rainer National park, fell 3,700 feet and was killed on impact. He fell down the mountains Northeast side of the mountain into a crevice. He was not moving after his fall. Another climber that fell into the crevice had slipped on the descent down Emmons Glacier after hiking Mount Rainer. Two women we dangling inside the crevice when one was able to contact the rescue rangers on her cell phone. The two women were able to get rescued very fast, they were rescued around 3:10 P.M. Rapidly lowering clouds made it harder for the helicopters to reach the climbers. Three of them had to be hospitalized from the falls and made a fast recovery. Although some was not as fortunate. In the Nick Hall’s family lost a son and now the family is “grieving and celebrating” his

On October 13, 1972 a plane named the Faidchild was holding 45 passangers crashed in the Andes Mountains. Among the passangers was the Old Christrians club rugby union from Urgangy with family and friends. The plane was headed to a match the team was to play in Santiago, Chile. There was severe weather problams and the weather had forced the pilots to stop in Mendoza, Argentina. When cleared to fly again the pilots and passsangers headed out. Over Curico, Chile the pilot had requested permission to decend and was approved. At this time the area covered in clouds played a vital trick on the pilots. The Pilots thought they were farther than they actually were. The pilots had to crash land on the Andes Mountains as safe as possible in the situation

The key difference in the two accounts are that one took place on a mountain,

Regular reinforcement of core organizational culture and values is essential in maintaining a high level of ethics within a corporation and encouraging “desirable behaviors” (Mitchell, 2016) 4.2).

After reading and reviewing Chapters One and Two from the assigned reading, I selected the topic of corporate values as the concept to further research and discuss. My company, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, has always placed a high focus on our corporate values as they influence our overall vision. However, recently updated upper management has added another level to our corporate values map to influence action and influence specific decision making. Takeda’s high value on integrity which leads to fairness, honesty, and perseverance is a core reason why I buy into the overall corporate vision, as an employee. The added second-level core values are as follows: put the patient at the center, build trust with society, reinforce

I recall there being a giant rock that has fallen prior of when we got there.

The Bodhisattva had long cultivated the karma of purity and wisdom, and widely planted the roots of every virtue. The fruits of his vows were now blossoming. Hearing these words on the suffering of old age, he shivered; his hair stood on end. Like a terrified herd of animals flees the bolt of a thunder clap, the Bodhisattva in the same way trembled with fear, as he deeply sighed and contemplated the suffering of old age.

On 23rd 1999, a catastrophic avalanche happened in Galtür, Austria, which is in the innermost Paznaun Valley, the furthermost southwestern corner of the state of Tyrol. Galtür attracts thousands of tourists each year, which makes it famous a ski resort, and in February 1999, 4000 visitors and residents were staying in the village of Galtür before everything happened.

Here the question is what action promotes McCoy's & the hiker's interest. The main purpose of all the hikers was to travel to Nepal and have a "once in a life time experience". It is conceivable that this is consistent with everyone's best interests, while helping the Sadhu is clearly not. Action was ethical. However the fact that McCoy feels guilty reflects that he was unable to promote his long term interest. Hence it becomes ambiguous to justify his actions.
