The Dilemmas Of Death In The Parable Of The Sadhu

My objective is to discuss the three principles given above (exploration of the research, principles and ethics affecting the dilemma, and personal values affecting the solution). These three principles will guide me to one of the two solutions to the dilemma.

In the Parable of the Sadhu, Bowen McCoy takes a trip to the Nepal with his friend and anthropologist Stephen to trek through the Himalayan Mountains. One man from New Zealand that was in their group but had gone ahead found an Indian holy man, a sadhu, naked and laying on the ice. He brought the man to McCoy and Stephen, but was determined to reach his goal and he left the sadhu in their care. After taking the sadhu’s pulse giving initial first aid, McCoy decides to leave the sadhu with Stephen and their guide. None of the hikers, other than Stephen, was willing to put their personal goals aside and help the sadhu who was in need of aid. Everyone did what they considered “their part”, but would not claim ultimate

Analyze three of the punishments that corporations undergo when they have acted unethically (i.e., name them, define them, explain what they are). In addition, explain three threats to running an ethical corporation. Finally, from your own perspective, explain whether or not a corporation should have to function by the same codes of morality that individual people in society have to abide by or if they should be allowed to get away with certain actions that people in society cannot get away with.

At a minimum of once a year, the entire company will convene for an Ethical Situations Round Table. Topics will include newsworthy stories of other companies and any closed ethical issues within the company. This is a time not only to discuss ethical situations but to work as a group in finding the ideal solution to how the company should handle similar issues. We want to be a step ahead and be prepared for events that could affect the company.

I enjoy reading quotes in my spare time and have read a lot of quotes on death. However, this one stands out as a more interesting quote about death. I completely agree with it as well, because as one approaches death, they are forced to face and analyze their life, their choices, their mistakes, etc. It also allows the close friends and family of the deceased to ponder on the meaning of life and death. Death is the shining gate to life and it should not be feared or dreaded.

How would you describe the ethical dilemma confronted by the managers at the law firm?

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

The problem to be investigated is the application of business ethics. In the business world, ethics are extremely important. Ethics are prime elements that help a business to grow and to become more productive. It is by applying proper business ethics that a business can operate in a moral or ethical business environment and managed to conduct all activities in a manner that maximizes profits while not compromising all other non-economic concerns(Schwab, 1996). Businesses have over the years failed to nurture business ethics in order to fulfill shareholders' interests and to have a culture that is oriented towards profit maximization and high performance(Jennings, 2012; Sims & Felton, 2006). This has led business to have gray areas in their activities. Gray areas are those situations or problems that do not fit exactly into any ethical analysis. These are the activities which may be represented to be immoral as a result of lying and false representations on the part of the business.

"For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain." Society influences the individual’s viewpoint on death, the afterlife, and religious rites. These societal shared beliefs develop a worldview that helps give meaning, order, and purpose to the world. The need for meaning and order develops into core values at the heart of society that influence how people perceive death. This paper compares the American and Aghori Sadhu's viewpoints on death to understand their link to social values. The American consumer based culture and Aghori non-duality beliefs are opposite

By contriving the story into a "quandary" which can be solved by the application of a rule, these theories divorce the dilemma from the context. Consequently the analogy which McCoy draws between that context and the corporate/bureaucratic one is warped. As the story is colored by a rule-based analysis, each hiker has only an abstract moral obligation toward the Sadhu, but in McCoy's version the hikers have individual values based on a set of shared goals. One can draw their own conclusion, but we claim that McCoy's narration of how those few moments were actually lived on that icy mountain path, of how that monumental choice was made, and of its deeply troubling consequences, stands in stark rebuttal of rule-based arguments that justify the minimal actions of the hikers. Their very understanding of moral obligation fosters neglect for cooperative efforts and for inter-subjective relationships. Rule-based analysis conceptualizes a moral question as arising for a generic agent in total isolation - one who is totally context-free, character-free and who gets his or her moral clues only from his or her innate faculty of reason.

The "Parable of the Sadhu" presents a complex situation which action immediate action was necessary. Sadhu, an Indian holy man, was discovered naked and barely alive by a group of multicultural mountaineers during their journey. Each ethnic group did a little to help the Sadhu, but none assumed full responsibility. Their priority was in climbing the mountain rather than carrying Sadhu to the village where other people could help him. Although the conditions of the trip were so that once the mountaineers went down to the village they might not have been able to come back up, the author of this essay still feels guilty for what was not done for the Sadhu (Donaldson 280).
