The Importance Of DN Culture

Typical business ethics dilemmas result from the need to balance economic performance and social performance when people think of fraternization they think it is harmless; but these rules and regulations are in place for a reason, to protect good order and discipline. Fraternization is an unprofessional relationship amongst officers and enlisted members, senior enlisted members and junior enlisted members, and senior and subordinates. There are many forms of fraternization; fraternization causes the employees to be deceitful; they also encourage gossip, dissatisfaction, drama in the work space, fraternization over all hurt the organization and the mission. Two ethical principles that can be observed when analyzing this problem are Deontological Morality Ethics also known as Duty-based ethics witch state that some things should never be done, no matter what good consequences they

encourage our superiors to act ethically and to lose their position if the ruler persists in unethical

During the Civil War, ethics was not an issue. Survival and defending the land was every soldier’s priority. This has not changed, still today, companies as Lockheed Martin is helping the Department of Defense preserve the very freedoms Michael Moore enjoys. Lockheed Martin is a very diverse company with 130,000 employees. Each of those employees has different ethical values. Whether it is an employee performing janitorial duties or the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) negotiating a new contract, each employee has a different reason as to why they are working for Lockheed Martin. So long as there are humans involved, ethical issues is to be expected at all levels. Are companies spending more time and money in employee training on ethics,

Since the beginning of the 21st century ethical leadership has become a subject of scientific analysis, with a compendium of research and theoretical work examining the antecedents and the consequences. During the same epoch, the unethical comportment of administrative leaders has received a great deal of criticisms. Flabbergasting as it is, several literatures have surfaced recommending solutions to the problem of unethical behavior among leaders.

Anytime a leader acts unethically either in the public domain or in private, the act is often met with surprise and shock. This is because the ethical behavior of leaders has a very important effect on the behavior of others, be it in an organization or in the society at large. This is why our leaders must learn to set good examples and avoid setting bad precedence as the effect of such actions are enormous.

External controls: The typical American response to the discovery of breaches of ethical conduct is to adopt new legislation, make new rules, or issue new regulations. And perhaps the second common recourse is to rearrange the organizational structure or create new organizations to establish more careful monitoring. It’s an attempt to impose on the conduct of individual public servants constraints that originate from outside themselves. Internal controls: Still, we sometimes, although less often, witness a different response to ethics scandals: an attempt to cultivate and strengthen the professional values and standards of people in public service through training and professional socialization. Internal control refers to procedures or practices

A leader’s personal moral or ethical standards may conflict with his/her company’s ethical standards. A leader might feel something the organization does is unethical. A leader might support the overall goals of the organization but feel the actions taken to accomplish the goals are unethical. Keeping personal ethics separate from professional ethics reduces conflict; however conflict cannot always be avoided and certain steps should be taken when reacting to moral dilemmas.

As one grows into power in their profession sometimes the BE-KNOW-DO principles become forgotten or ignored. For the BE principle, in my opinion, flexibility, commitment to professional ethic, and the ability to resolve complex ethical dilemmas are the most violated. As individuals become older, they can become stuck in their ways and inflexible to adapt to changes. This is especially true with technology. As for professional ethic and the ability to resolve complex ethical dilemmas we can look to the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Flint residents were failed by their government, the persons who are sworn in to protect them. The government was unable to maintain their loyalty/duty to the people and ignored a course of action to help avoid the problem from occurring despite being aware of the issue.

Martin Marietta took a hands-on approach in creating their Ethics Program, but monitoring 60,000 employees “ethical decisions” took a large workforce. In 1986, a committee including Martin Marietta and several other defense contractors created “A Defense Industry Initiative on Business Ethics and Conduct (DII).” Martin Marietta placed their entire company under a voluntary disclosure program, which required all employee misconduct to be reported, monitored, and resolved. To achieve this task, an audit committee was formed which tripled in manpower between 1986 and 1991. George Sammet was placed in charge of the Ethics program by insuring the employee’s complaints, questions, and concerns were heard and dealt with. “Ethic Officers” were placed at all of Martin Marietta’s branches to handle employee related issues. Ethical complaints could be made anonymously or vocally to field “Ethic Officers.” Once complaints were made the ethic officers would report them for investigation through audit, personnel, security, or legal staff. Almost half of the complaints which were reported were personnel related cases including salaries, promotions, and poor supervisory skills. But, with such an elaborate program, employees quickly became aware of possible retaliation for reporting issues. Once the issues were reported, they then needed to be dealt with. This could include verbal or written reprimand, transfer, or possible

Reality television has turned into a noteworthy piece of our way of life. The shows are described to be fun, engaging and acquaint society with new points of view. In the wake of a monotonous day at work, it 's decent to return home and watch something careless on television, while unwinding. While the debate that violence in the media is making for a brutal culture has been made a million times, sometime recently, I am striving to make an alternate relationship. As we are aware, the larger part of reality television contains some sort of harsh circumstance, whether verbal, emotional, physical, money related, or potentially sexual. Despite the fact that the predominance of this violence is tricky all by itself, the way that these shows are taped or situated in local circumstances is particularly concerning. Police activity being filmed for reality television is a prime example of a particularly concerning reality television. These particular television shows includes but are not limited to The First 48, COPS, Police Women of Memphis, etc. These particular shows display events that can be labeled as brutal, violent and intense. Majority of the population, are in agreeance that, that level of law enforcement tactics and incidents should not be displayed or available to the general public. According to Dowler (2002), public knowledge of crime and justice is largely derived from the media. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the dangers involved in filming

The “American Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century” considers language to be “the primary vehicle for expressing cultural perspectives” and affirms that “the study of a language provides opportunities for students to develop insights in a culture that are available in no other way” (the language educator, ACTFL, 32) It implies that teaching or learning a second language goes with teaching or learning a second culture. Language acquisition is then implied to be culture acquisition. According to the ACTFL standards, “the true content of the foreign language course is not the grammar and vocabulary of the language, but the cultures expressed through that language.” We are then tempted to raise questions on the cultural identity of fluent bilingual speakers or polyglots. If learning a second language is learning or acquiring a second culture, does proficiency in a second language rhyme with proficiency in a second culture? If this can be answered yes, how do learners manage their first culture in their process to second language and culture proficiency?

Looking at the trends within the American organizations that have conducted unethical behavior there could be a relationship between how the leadership conduct themselves and how the employees act. The culture within the organization can shape how employees think and act (Taylor, et al., 2014). Business Leaders must establish the culture through clear guidelines and setting the example to foster ethical performance. Take for instance, the culture within Tyco International , which former CEO Dennis Kozlowski created one that was all about numbers. He had told BusinessWeek “the sky is the limit” (Jennings, 2012). In addition, research has shown that

In modern times, ethics in government have become not only something of great public interest, but also an important area of study in the academic fields of politics and government. Ethics refers to the study of right and wrong behaviors (Makenricko, 2007). Ethics means weighing carefully the actions to be undertaken through the compliance prism of a set of values and standards defined at the level of society, for its own good (Brown, Trevino, & Harrison, 2005, p. 120). In our daily lives we are constantly faced with important questions about what to do. Should I keep my promise or should I not? Should I report a lost wallet, or simply keep the money inside? Should I give to the panhandler or keep my change? Ethics, as a field of study, attempts to find principles and rules for answering such questions (Makenricko, 2007). Ethical behavior is the foundation of any professional organization and as such, should be a recurring theme in every thing we do. Even in government, people expect their elected and appointed officials to always to do what is right. Government officials have a ethical
