The Ethical Behavior Of Stakeholders

The purpose of this paper is to examine an ethical dilemma faced by a company who manufactures critical components for a pacemaker developer. The consequentialist ethical theory of utilitarianism will be used to evaluate the moral implications this company has in continuing further manufacturing for their pacemaker client. An overview of utilitarian ethics will be discussed, focused primarily around 17th century philosopher Jeremy Bentham’s ideas about ethics. His framework will be used to present factors that influence the transistor company’s business decision. Finally, the Utility Test and Common Good Test will be applied to the company’s predicament to help determine the correct ethical course of action for this

In BC, in 2050, the forest fires will have a big impact on the standards of living in Canada. The forest fires will affect both the health and wealth aspects of living standards. For example, forest fires are very expensive, sometimes even costing billions of dollars. This huge cost will affect the economy (or economic value) of Canada considerably. The forestry industry will also influence the living standards if the forest fires do not allow the recently planted trees to grow. Since one in seven jobs are connected to the forestry industry in BC, many people’s jobs will be involved. The standards of living in Canada will be damaged if action is not taken towards properly protecting forests from fires.

For centuries, society has been battling these natural disasters with considerable effort, only to come up with charred land and numerous homeless citizens. The one most significant gain, however, that comes with these fires is the vigorous regrowth that occurs years after the devastation. With a freshly cleared area, decaying sediment acting as fertilizer, and a significantly lower chance for fires, new life is easily reintroduced from the waste. The question then becomes whether it is ethical for human intervention with what is completely natural and healthy for the surrounding environment. The idea of allowing uncontrolled burns comes with great potential for animal and plant habitats, however it leaves many citizens in the wake of danger. Finding the balance between these two ideas, excessive interference and absolute surrender of control, is an important endeavor to way

The Cheesecake Factory has been one of the more successful chain restaurants in recent years because they have provided great food and outstanding customer service in a fun atmosphere. The cheesecake factory employs a high standard of general conduct and moral aptitude. As a chief executive officer in today’s society, it is my responsibility to ensure The Cheesecake Factory abides by the laws and ethical duties that are mandated by today’s society. There is a copious amount of benefits to being a chief executive officer, however there is an equal amount of risk as chief executive officers are held liable for almost any action or infraction that their company has induced.

Upon the arrival of European settlers in Australia, the Indigenous people were prosecuted and criminalized. One of the many things taken away from the Aboriginal Australians was their practice of fire-stick farming. This was due to a number of reasons that the Europeans saw as justifiable. The main issue that the Europeans had with the cultural and environmental practice was the dangers of purposely creating fires. They feared that the practice would endanger the lives of citizens and livestock, whilst also threatening to destroy infrastructure, farms, houses and towns. After the criminalization of the act of fire-stick farming, the practice largely died out. This increased the extremely violent, devastating wild bushfires. However, after years of studying the culture and practices, the Europeans realized the reason and benefits of fire-stick farming. This awakening began around the 1970’s, and has now had major effects on todays Australian society. More Australians are realizing the benefits of the practice everyday, and this has brought the attention of large corporations and companies, specifically Conco-Phillips. Due to this the practice has now been making a comeback. Locals in Western Arnhem land have struck a deal with the large corporation that concerns fire-stick farming. Research has revealed that the controlled burns release less than half of the carbon emissions produced by the wild bushfires. Now the West Arhnem land natives had made a deal with Conco-Phillips that earns the fuel driven company much sought after carbon credits that allow them to produce more carbon emissions. In conclusion, I believe that this is a testament to how things can completely turn around, and how sometimes the traditional method is the right one. A true underdog story, fire-stick farming has gone from helping out many a people and animal whilst keeping the environment healthy, to being banned and

Aboriginal fire management is when people use fire to manage their land and its forests. Leaves of gum trees, contain flammable oils. Dead leaves and some branches fall of these trees and gather on the ground for prolonged periods of time, which form a kind of fuel for bushfires. Instead of allowing the fuel load to build up, aboriginals

Safely living with wildland fire begins with an understanding of the doctrinal principles and beliefs for wildland fire suppression. At the core of fire operations is the belief that no structure or resource is worth the loss of human life. Firefighter, aviator, and public safety are held in the highest regard.

Today, executives are having a rough time juggling between the demands of the workplace and those of their families and other personal responsibilities. In a bid to meet targets and other organizational goals and objectives, business executives in addition to traveling extensively also tend to dedicate long hours to office work.

There are times when a part of a forest needs to be burnt away so something else can grow. It gives space for new life in the forest as well. There are times, when fires will be intentionally set in order for this to happen. This is done by what we call a controled burn. Those in charge have mechanisms set up so the fire will be , well, controlled. They comparmentalize it so it burns exactly what needs to be burned away and nothing more.

In addition, the results of this study may be used by the U.S. Forest Service to promote and thus improve forest fire prevention projects. The U.S. Forest Service manages large quantities of land, however they may not all be adequately maintained to prevent the severity of wildfires. Seeing the impacts that the Rough Fire caused can be motivation for improving the thinning of the forest to prevent intense fire from occurring hence save money in combatting wildfires in the long run.

Christopher Topik has been the Director of the Nature Conservancy Program which is an international organization aimed at protecting ecologically important lands. In his written testimony, Christopher advises all levels of government to work with local communities in fire preparation. He also advises the use of healthy fires during cooler and wetter months to help reduce the risk of harmful wildfires. The current emergency fire suppression funding needs to be fixed. Another approach suggested by Christopher is the expansion of Fire Learning Network programs in communities to help people learn how to live with fire and smoke. (Energy Commerce, 2017).

Wildfires have played an important role in shaping history. They have shaped private islands and public areas. Even though wildfires have destroyed thousands of acres of land and killed millions of people, humans still start these furies of fire either on accident or on purpose. Also, many times people have started controlled burns which people use for different reasons. Sometimes, wildfires are not as bad as some people may think. Even if someone is caught in a wildfire, preparing and getting out is not hard at all. Humans may not always be ready for a wildfire, but they do know how to stop one.

This essay will aim to investigate the ethical treatment of shareholders and workers in a traditional, capitalist corporation; The Ford Motor Company and compare and contrast the findings with the treatment of these stakeholders in the Mondragon Cooperative Corporation.

Traits associated to a psychopath include irresponsibility, manipulation, grandioseness, lack of empathy, asocial tendencies, inability to feel remorse, refusal to take responsibility for one's actions and superficial relations with others. Modern day corporations display every one of the previously listed characteristics. Is it right that an institution, whose power now rivals that of the State that once created it to seek the better welfare of its citizens, display the psychological traits of a dangerous personality disorder? Many say no: there is a rising discomfort with the corporation and its pervasion into every sphere of human life and it is this uneasiness that has prompted many academics to further study the corporation and its

Best efforts to overcome forest and land fire through preventing before it occurs, minimizing the impact, and minimizing forest and land fire extension area. According to Ministry for National and Development Planning, there are three things that need to be done first to prevent forest fires and land. First, reviewing the business permits that have been issued by the Government for forestry and plantation; second enforcing on business compliance with regulations and policies related to efforts to control land and forest fire; and third the need for an early warning system (EWS) in the prevention and control of forest and land fire. Early Warning System (EWS) on prevention and control of forest and land fire is a system that contains information about the potential or predictions related to land and forest fires in one location at a certain time. This system has been developed by various agencies with a variety of methods. But the most important thing and should be encouraged is the implementation of the use of such information at the site level by local governments and communities. Each of ministry and agency independently has made efforts to control forest and land fires in accordance with the duties and functions as ministry or technical institutions.
