Immediately after learning about Sports Outfitters, participants proceeded to read one of the two cashier mistake scenarios before evaluating how ethical they considered the actor was in the scenarios. For both scenarios, participants read how the key actor, Jenny, was handling a cashier’s change mistake when she was shopping at Sports Outfitters. The manipulation of identity overlap was achieved by describing Jenny either as a typical university student such as the participant (i.e., high identity overlap), or a typical employee of another business who currently works at a company in Los Angeles (i.e. low identity overlap).

The United Kingdom (UK) law for recruitment is a key area that makes it necessary for every organisation to follow it. It is important that every organisation, irrespective of which field it is in, follow the laws in order to make the right kind of recruitment process. Similarly, JD Sports needs to comply with the UK laws when recruiting an individual. To begin with, JD Sports should not discriminate between men and women. Under the Equality Act 2006, both the genders should be equal chance at opportunities, and this also includes the transgender people, as it will eliminate discrimination and harassment (Gatewood, Feild, & Barrick, 2010).

In everyday life, we are always faced with the task of determining whether certain actions are right or wrong. In the article, Right and Wrong in the Real World, Joshua Halberstam discuses how people process and deal with the ethical dilemmas they are faced with on an everyday basis. Halberstam takes a look at “the complex relationship between communal and personal ethics, between moral theory and our everyday ethical decisions” (Halberstam 2006), while looking at where moral questions arise in these situations. He asks readers to consider certain situations that they come across daily to question whether or not the decisions the make are ethical; for example “The ATM spits out an extra $100 in your favor. Keep the money and your mouth shut?”
Moral rules and moral judgment vary depending on the type of ethical system used. Moral judgment must be an act, of a human with free will, that effects other individuals (Pollock, 2018). I chose situation one, at the end of chapter two, to construct two different ethical pyramids. This situation involves a retail store manager witnessing an employee taking merchandise from the store without paying for the items. The employee is a fellow classmate of the manager.
Athletic brands play a major role in college sports and athletics in colleges across the country. Athletic companies such as Nike, Under Armour, and Jordan are all involved in college athletics. Almost every sport and athlete that plays it requires shoes, equipment, and clothes that allow them to play the sport correctly and as a team. These college athletes need these brands and their sponsorships to enjoy participating in athletics, and without these sponsors and scholarship opportunities many athletes would have nothing.
The assumption that ‘it’s easy to be ethical’ assumes that individuals automatically know that they are facing an ethical dilemma and that they should simply choose to do the right thing. But decision makers may not always recognize that they are facing a moral issue. Rarely do decisions come with waving red flags. Dennis Gioia was recall coordinator at Ford Motor

They are well known for their quality fishing equipment and in recent years they have expanded their products to golfing and tennis equipment.
