The Formation Of One Society

After the interview, Mark is faced with an additional ethical dilemma, the knowledge of other workers working in the plant under different names. Now, the human resource specialist must face, whether the plant should stop hiring temporary illegal workers and run into staffing problems, or continue hiring these workers and face legal allegations by breaking the law.

They are bound by the contracts of employment and code of practice and one is accountable for any mistakes or errors made.

Employers should not treat their employees as a potential criminal. At the end of the book, it said, “Stop treating working people as potential criminals and let them have the right to organize for better wages and working conditions.” (238). When Barbara worked at Key West, Florida, the employer said they heard

employer might be liable for the discriminatory activities of an employee and employers may also be liable if

Organizations that hire employees or volunteers are accountable for their actions and must make sure, as best they can, that the people representing them can be trusted with their clients. Employers should be well-informed on the risk of failing to conduct screening checks of potential volunteers or employees, as they may be held legally and morally accountable through vicarious liability. Vicarious liability makes an organization accountable for the behavior of volunteers or employees under certain circumstances. It functions on the supposition the organization has aggravated the risk that harm would take place. It makes sure that organizations take all rational measures to decrease the risk of harm by using methods such as screening. "If they fail to take reasonable measures to reduce the risk of harm to their clients, an organization (such as a school,

Employment discrimination is any form of unfair treatment at the workplace practiced by the employer against a section of employees on the basis of their gender identity, sexual orientation, age, mental or physical disability, national origin, religion, gender, or race. Employment discrimination is unlawful according to the employment laws as underlined in the 1964, Civil Rights Act, Title VII (Clarkson, Miller & Cross,). In terms of salaries and payment of workers, it is unlawful to segregate employees or classify in compensation and other employment aspects.

Vicarious liability is a form of strict, secondary liability that arises under the common law doctrine of agency, respondeat superior, the responsibility of the superior for the acts of their subordinate or the responsibility of any third party that had the ability or duty to control the activities of a violator. Employers are vicariously liable for the torts of their employees that are committed during the course of employment. Employers will only be liable for the torts of their employees. They will not usually be liable for the torts of their independent contractors. It is therefore necessary to establish the status of the tortfeasor (Law Teacher 2012).

In R v. Redfern & Dunlop Ltd. (Aircraft Division) , the Court held that where the employees who were not in the decision making level could not be identifiable with the company and therefore were not deemed to be the controlling mind of the company. The question that comes up is that if a person at a lower level commits a crime in the name of the company, the company cannot be held liable for the same. This may pose to be a problem in the sense that the company may make a division between the senior management and the employees to avoid criminal proceedings against them

The original assignment in this module dealt primarily with employers trying to find wrongdoing by employees.  We now turn to the question of employee rights and employer obligations.  Using at least two (2) of the foundational ethical theories studied in Module 2, you should answer the following questions.   With each answer, you should discuss the issues and set forth and defend a clear position.

Good post! In regards to Respondent Superior, it brings to mind the case of D.D.N Versus Face, where a young lady was sexually assaulted by an employee of Festivals and Concert Events, Inc. The young lady was sexually assaulted at the festival. The victim asserted claims against FACE for negligent hiring, negligent supervision, negligent retention, respondent superior, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and landowner's negligence. The courts found that there was sufficient evidence that she was sexually assaulted and the company was $750,000.

When we are dealing with the employment relationship between employers and employees, ethical issues are most likely to emerge. Especially, if a manager fires a worker without a proper reason, critics will follow this employer’s behavior. In Patricia Werhane’s paper, “Employment at Will and Due Process”, discusses two doctrines which are Employment at Will (EAW) and Due Process. It also addresses some justifications and objections for EAW, and shows Werhane’s supportive view to Due Process. In contrast, EAW is defended by Richard Epstein in his article “In Defense of the Contract at Will”. In my paper, I will attempt to develop my argument in favor of Employment at Will that could improve flexibility and efficiency of

If the plane that I was on crashed onto an island and there was no way to get off this island, than we would have to try and create a civil society and coexist with each other and avoid slipping into a state of nature. The way that I would avoid slipping into a state of nature is to set up some sort of government. The reason I would set up a government in a democratic manner is because if you had a monarch then people are more likely to rebel. If you had an even spread of power over the people where they have some say in what everyone does then they are more likely to agree with you and be more willing to follow you. If the people choose their own leader and if they are bad leaders then the people of the island will be able to repeal them and replace them with someone else who they think would be a better leader. However They should go through a council which will be represented by the people they had chosen to be in power and make up their democratic government. This council will see to it that the people are heard and they will list out why this person should or shouldn’t stay in the council. The citizen will be able to vote every year for different people in the government, the reason this is going to happen is because it is a new society and different people have different ideas. Have people with different ideas in government will help improve the community and how it is run. The government will maintain power by knowing what everyone is doing and making sure everyone is

Today, employees can be considered as the greatest strength of the company. They are the ones who help build the reputation of the company, it is their job to ensure the success of the business, which is why it is very important to keep them satisfied. A recent statistic shows that an American worker has an average of eight jobs in his career (Rudman, 2003). This stat shows how difficult it is to retain a core strength of a company. In this essay, an analysis of a case study is made. The case includes at first, a discussion between Chip Brownlee and Arch carter, the CEO and lead director of Galvatrens respectively. During this conversation, they discussed a lawsuit that a former employee sent to the company for being wrongfully relieved of his duty. Also in the case study after investigation the board of Galvatrens and their CEO made a meeting in order to tackle the problems and know what really happened. In this essay, it will explain the main ethical dilemmas in the case study, and according to these dilemmas a comparison will be made between utilitarian, libertarian, deontological and virtue ethics perspectives. Finally, as a form of an ethical point of view will be used to be the best solution to solve the dilemma of the recommendation.

Civilization is what makes a society work together in a stable environment. It takes hard work and different constituents to make civilization happen. The evolution of society does not happen right away but it does happen within ages. The first matter that should happen is systematic agriculture. Society needs to feel food insecure. Once they have found a place that food surplus occurs then they can start the urbanization process. Once urbanization has started and a population is formed then a government will be established. Usually the one who has created the town has the main authority, sometimes not. Because of the government wanting to protect their town, the government will then build up a military and make laws. Society and the government will find trade routes, so that the people can get what they want, whether it is silk or jewelry. To pay for these materialistic items, coinage will need to be made as well. This will made through metallurgy. Society will then find a way to place themselves on a social hierarchy. The social hierarchy will establish a balance for civilization. Then there is culture, architecture, and religion. Of course none of these ideas can happen without having a language or writing. More than anything having a government, trade routes, and religion are the key components that really pushes civilization forward onto a much more advance level.

Society can be considered as a community who work together and make decisions about how to do things. It can be seen as a union of people who have a developed culture. Yet this can be seen as controversial because some societies in todays world can be seen as primitive as they have not yet developed some of the vital things what we call the norm in society like culture. But for what we see as normal way not somewhere else. There are many different people or communities which have different ways of living. Therefore creating a debatable question; how can we define society? Modern western society today is seen as normal, due to theorists defining society from our experiences. like Fletcher stated ‘not merely to explain the odd actions of neurotics or primitives, but to use their actions to understand and explain what counts as normal and ordinary action in western societies’ Fletcher R (2013) pg17, there has been many attempts by different theorists and sociologists to understand the concept of society, each with their own view but the school of structural functionalism representative, Talcott Parsons used a system approach analysing society as a social system, ‘Talcott Parsons was probably the most prominent theorist of this time, and it is unlikely that any one theoretical approach will so dominate sociological theory again.’ (Turner 1998) He wanted to explain why people act as they do. His theory contains subsystems which interact with each other creating a wider view on
