Can you think of an unethical role model for the youth of today

?

An unethical example for today's youth can be Kunno, a young man known for a very recognized platform this year such as Tik Tok. This young man opts for content that offends others, sexualizes himself and his content, on a platform that is for children, which reflects a high irresponsibility, and also, he was one of the many on this platform who did not respect the isolation measures against the pandemic.

Discuss one of the following topics have to accomplish something

?

: Is giving a bribe dishonest if I

Well, this caught my attention since we have two ethical problems here: The first is the person who gives the bribe and the second is the person who receives it. Giving a bribe with or without an exact purpose is an unethical act, since its meaning in itself is about "a crime when a public official accepts or demands a gift to carry out an action or omit it", leaving aside what is for society and rules is correct

Discuss one of the following topics

“Euthanasia is an acceptable practice in a civilized society with an ageing

population�. The issue of euthanasia is a very controversial issue, since the family often has to decide for their relative. But from my morals and ethics, if an adult, who has already lived all that he wanted and is in conditions that do not cause pain, or has some NON-TREATABLE difficulty and without any cure, it is better to avoid that he suffers like this it hurts us lose it.

Exercise 2 Question

1:

You have been asked to participate as an “Entrepreneur in Training� in the design and construction of a nuclear power plant. You will be working in a team of 10 design Entrepreneurs. Some of the Entrepreneurs are experienced and capable nuclear plant designers. a) Is the use and development of nuclear power plant ethical?

I feel that the development of a nuclear plant is not something unethical, since although these have certain damages towards the environment it is a way of generating energy, indeed, some ecological aids could be implemented, but even so, it is not unethical, Since nothing is incurred against the law or against the basic norms of society, if this plant were illegal or planned against it, it would be an unethical act. b) Can you participate in the design of such a plant without any previous experience?

In this case, I feel that the intervention of the apprentice should not be taken so lightly, since it is a design of a nuclear plant, which if not developed properly can cause damage to society like any poorly designed work, but If the apprentice will only participate in a way, so to speak "with ideas", the professionals will accept or reject these, telling them why and expanding their apprenticeship process, while in a decision such as the material and no one chooses to change a wrong decision that is take everything falls apart.

Quick Test Question 2: You work for a Government department as a Procurement Entrepreneur. Your wife works for one of the companies that supplies some of the pump spares that you use. One day you decide to stop buying spares from this company because they have become too expensive and the company has said they cannot drop their prices. You inform the supplier of your decision on Wednesday.

On Friday your wife comes home with two tickets to the rugby final on Saturday and you go to the game and thoroughly enjoy it. Two weeks later your wife comes home and informs you that she has been given a voucher for a weekend away at an exclusive game lodge. Her boss told her she and her husband deserve a luxurious break.

Should you have gone to the rugby?

Exercise 3 Consider the following and then consult and share your answers

Consider an unethical practice that you can remember in the work situation. See if you can identify which category of ethical behaviour in the Code of Conduct the situation belongs to, e.g. gifts and favours, physical threat.

Describe the situation briefly and what the consequences were for the perso involved and for the organization. What would be the best way to behave in a similar situation?

SITUATION

:

In a shoe factory, which has stood out for years for the quality of its materials and good prices, the general manager has decided to stop buying materials with his main partner, since prices have risen, and opts for poor quality ones . The manufacturing workers notice the change in the materials and decide to send their representatives to speak with the manager; when talking to the manager. During the talk, the manager makes a proposal to increase their salary to the three as long as the other workers do not protest against the change of material and they accept.

TYPE OF ETHICAL PRINCIPLE INVOLVED

:

We can see that they are failing in the area of integrity within the code of conduct, since it talks about "fulfilling your duties towards your employers, clients, associates and the public with integrity, fidelity and honesty" therefore Representatives such as the manager are harming workers, clients and in turn, being dishonest.

CONSEQUENCES

:

“We have 2 possible consequences - That the workers discover the arrangement between the manager and representatives and report their actions to the authorities and the company enters a legal dilemma.

- That the company loses customers and recognition due to the low quality of the products, so what they save on material would be useless.

Exercise 4 Case Problems

1. An Entrepreneur is required to design a “Pressure Vessel” using a specific “Design Code” that requires a material thickness of 20mm. The designer is asked to reduce the thickness of the material in order to reduce costs for the customer who is planning to buy a large number of these vessels. What does he do?

I would try to persuade those who decided this not to use a material of less thickness, since this would lower the quality bringing a bad reputation to the company, besides that we would lose that customer who decided to invest by buying a large quantity of the product.

2. Alan works in the claims department of a major hospital. Paperwork on a recent admission shows that a traumatic mugging caused the patient to require an adjustment in the medication she is prescribed to control anxiety and mood swings.Alan is struck by the patient's unusual last name and upon checking her employment information realizes she is one of his daughter's grade school teachers.

Alan's daughter seems very happy in her school and he cannot violate patient confidentiality by informing the school of a teacher's mental illness but he is not comfortable with a potentially unstable person in a position of influence and supervision over his eight year old daughter. Can Alan reconcile these issues in an ethical manner?

Well, the teacher has an experience that increased his disorder, and if he becomes untreatable, the teacher will have to go to the school directives and report and if he does not do so, the directives should notice it due to its unstable condition, so that Alan would simply continue to do his job, in addition, his daughter is happy at school, so the problem does not directly affect her good development.

3. During the design of a pumping station a particular type of pump is specified for the task. There are 3 possible suppliers with some minor technical differences that would not have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the design, but the one supplier is a little more expensive than the other two. This supplier offers the Entrepreneur a free 10 day holiday in Mauritius if he buys the pumps from them. What does the Entrepreneur do?

I think that I would not choose the one with the highest price, since if we look at it from a moral point of view and another from a business point of view; Morality is affected, since it is guided by a trip and does not consider the other options for not having it, and from the business side, since this is more expensive, and although it is given a trip, we do not know if the additional cost of the product is more expensive than the same trip.

Exercise 5 How do you apply ethics in your study situation

?

Select a study or school project which involves ethical issues and use that as the basis to write a report and prepare a 10 minute presentation which involves suitable media.

How do you apply ethics in your study?

Life Proyect In our educational institution a life project has always been managed, where each student plans her life and focuses even more on her ideals and goals, why does ethics enter into this project? Well, each student must approach their life project from an ethical and moral environment, so it is implemented to recognize what values we have and which we must work to achieve our mission in front of our lives; It should be noted that all this is developed taking into account the code of conduct and values that the institution has, since it seeks to train the student from a professional and human point of view.

Some of the key points where ethics enters in this project is to identify our qualities, since we identify the values that represent us, and for what reason these are and will be useful in our lives.

To establish or define the problem we resort to step 1, where we must investigate, deepen and analyze the real facts and causes avoiding the use of assumptions, deductions and unsubstantiated claims. Thus, we can identify the central ethical problem and not deviate from subproblems

4. Why must other people be taken into consideration when evaluating ethical issues ? “If we are evaluating an aesthetic question, it is relevant and almost crucial to review the consequences that it will bring to the others involved, since it cannot remain at an individualistic point, the interests and ideals of the others involved must be appreciated and taken into account to first achieve an agreement and legal and ethical decisions

Appendix 1 5. Why would a number of solutions be considered when trying to solve an ethical dilemma ?

This is because the first or easiest solution is not always the most effective. In addition, people are prevented from being impulsive when acting, since in some cases the least expected solution turns out to be the chosen one and the best, so it is preferable to have a wide number of options.

Appendix 3 Scenario

1

The ethical problem that we can observe is that the teacher pays them less to carry out the same work for which they are paid, taking advantage of the fact that they need experience since it is scarce in that area. Faced with this, the teacher should not make them do their work, and less if they are going to pay them less just for their need for experience, they may not care, but they would not be being fair with this action

Scenario

2

In this case, all of them consider that it is unnecessary to arrive early even though the coach said that it was necessary for them to train at an exact time, it could be inferred that they believe that because they are starters or the best of the team they can do whatever they want. Here it looks like part of the code of responsibility ethics, since the possible results of the team for training us as planned

Scenario

3

In this case I do not see an ethical problem, since the Coach simply asks for a recommendation of her work and the experience that the Student had with her during the learning process

Exercise 1 Scenario

4

In this case we found two ethical problems, the first, on the part of Tony since he did not have authorization to search Robert's computer, much less to check his email. And the second case is that of Robert, since he is violating company rules and generating possible conflicts of interest. Tony incurs in violation of Respect for the dignity and rights of persons by violating Robert's privacy. Tony could remain silent since he also incurred in an unethical act, since at some other time, some superior may notice what Robert does and sanction him.

Scenario

5

In this case, since the intern was given recognition that he collected the information, he should not protest, since his work was recognized and he did not perform 100% for which he should not ask to be the main author, since The entrepreneur took these data and grouped them into an article, and it should be noted that the data collection was under the supervision of the entrepreneur. Faced with this, he should reach an agreement and explain the situation to the intern, since such an accusation could affect the career of the entrepreneur.
