Ethics Exam

1. Shaw and Barry distinguish two different forms of utilitarianism. What are these two forms? Briefly describe each and use examples.

I think it is not possible. Other side has all the authorities and they are the one who will give the decision. They can reject you and make deal with other companies with making it seem legal. You cannot avoid it. The company who gives the money advisor asks, will be the one who makes the deal.

What exactly does the term “ethics” mean? When asking this question among several different groups of people, I’m sure all of their answers would be different in many ways, but would all draw the general theme that ethics is somewhat of a study of what is right and what is wrong. This is a mostly correct conclusion, except for the fact that it encompasses not only determining what is right and wrong, but attempting to systemize and defend those ethical positions which one holds. Almost all of the controversial headlines you see in the media today involve some sort of question of ethics. Abortion. Healthcare. (“Should we take money from the rich and give to the poor to pay for medical expenses?”) Gun laws. Euthanasia, etc. The topic I want

1. When discussing stereotypes and race, it is important to recognize how insignificant skin color is. Racism itself if focused mainly on cultural states, and more times than not, whites are considered culturally superior to people of color. The treatment of African Americans and Native Americans in American culture perfectly demonstrate how oppositional dichotomies of race define racial stereotypes. Cultural dominance was set since the first settlers began to participate in the slave trade. While the black slaves looked very different than their white counterparts, it was the culture of these Africans that subjected them to discrimination. Slave owners believed their culture was superior, meaning they could

1. You recently retired from government contracting work and established a consulting company (fully consistent with government ethics laws and rules, of course) with the primary focus of advising potential government contractors and subcontractors. Mr. Johnny Jones, of The Johnny Jones Flooring and Construction Company has approached you with a question. Jones and his company are potential subcontractors (they, obviously, specialize in flooring) on a federal construction contract worth a little over two million dollars ($ 2,000,000.00) recently awarded to the Jimmy Smith Construction Company (Jimmy Smith, the prime contractor). Neither Johnny nor his company have ever been part of a government contract

The dilemma/ethical issue that arises out of this case is in the hands of Jill Lassiter. She is the newly appointed executive director of a charity dedicated to helping single mothers called Good Works for Women. She must get the financial statements in order so that they satisfy Ms. Lyndelle Oakes, the organization’s largest donor. Jill must decide whether to restate her budget using faulty estimates or to be honest about the organization’s difficulties and face losing a crucial donation.

If takes the bribe and therefore falsifies the calculations to appear to meet regulations, then they would fail to adhere to Rule 4, which states that Professional Engineers must “comply with applicable statutes, regulations and bylaws”. In failing to comply with the regulations this could consequentially cause some health or safety issues for the public and environment, and therefore fail to abide by Rule 1, “hold paramount the health, safety and welfare of the public, and have regard for the environment”. Rules 3, and 5 concern the “integrity, honesty, fairness and objectivity” if the Engineer in their profession, and upholding and enhancing “the honour, dignity, and reputation of their profession”. Not only would compromise their own integrity, and reputation by taking the bribe and falsifying information, they jeopardize that of the entire

As VP of operation, the decision to pay the consulting fee to break into the business could be a bribery, but it could also be the country’s custom. The decision process to make the payment is walk through the ethical decision process. If there are no laws violated and the consulting fee is payment for time and effort for the regulatory official to work, I think it ok to make the payment. If the regulatory official demand payment to his personal account, that is probably breaking the country’s law one way or the other and making this payment will eventually have negative business impact to IWC.

On the Ethics IQ Quiz, I scored a 3 out of 5 points. I do not totally agree with the score I was given for many reasons. The first reason why I do not agree with the score I received is, I believe some of the answers could have had more than one answer. I questions this quiz because I do not feel like those type of questions can determine what your IQ score is.

After a thorough examination of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, 15 U.S.C §§78dd-1 (FCPA) and the United Kingdom’s Bribery Act of 2010. It is recommended that The Phone and Build pay the $1000 expedited service fee to hear the results of the bid before its made public. This determination supersedes the Growastan’s deputy minister of communications other three offers that included paying him $100,000, giving him a Maserati, or donating $100,000 to his son’s political campaign to obtain the winning bid for a 5 million-dollar contract that was submitted by Thomas Doright, the expatriate of Phone and Build’s operations in Growastan which posed issues of bribery.

It is illegal for public official or employees to accept bribe for any official duties as it is known as corruption. Sully de Luqu e, M. F., & Arbaiza, L. A. (2005). A government agency known as Contraloria General is responsible for supervision of procedures in public administration and is responsible for combating corruption. There is a violent group in Peru named as Sendero Luminoso or shining path which is the main concern for them regarding terrorism. It is growing

Ethics is the moral behavior that guides our actions; it motivates us in our personal behavior and is relevant in a business setting as well. Many organizations have set forth a set of guidelines known as a “Code of Ethics”. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, being one of these organizations, has set forth their code as a requirement for students and engineer members to adhere to. Heading towards a career in electrical engineering I choose this organization to elaborate on for my ethics project.

Practically every professional engineering organization has developed a code of ethics. Codes of ethics are formal declarations of an engineer’s professional obligations, and it is important to know expectations for oneself before pursuing and committing to a course of action. This paper is also a great opportunity to practice researching and writing skills which are necessary to almost every career.

This does not set a good example for the employees and can be harmful to the future of the company. Ensuring that bribery stops can solve many of the problems discussed above. Some feasible solutions are being recommended to help the company in both short term and long term. First of all, all employees including managers should be given training and education about bribery, corruption and what’s deemed illegal according to the law. Explicit measures should be suggested on how they can avoid supporting corruption and also where they can report to in case a situation where dishonesty is involved arises.
