Dr. Vegapunk thinks that watching anime (Japanese animated shows) decreases social skills in college students. To test this, Dr. Vegapunk randomly selected 30 brooklyn college students and assigned them to watch an episode of anime everyday for a week. After the week, each of the students answered a questionnaire about their social skills. The results showed that the sample had a mean social skills score of 7.3 and a standard deviation of 2.4. A previous study showed that the overall population of brooklyn college students had a mean social skills score of 6.2, but the standard deviation was not reported. Dr. Vegapunk decides to use an alpha level of 0.05.

Describe an ethical dilemma you have encountered in your own life. Provide enough information so we can understand your situation, but please change details to protect the innocent (or the guilty). Why did the situation present a dilemma for you? How did you resolve it?
I once worked for a company where I was in one department and that department reported to another department. There was a top manager in that other department who was over all the departments. I had a co-worker who decided to leave the company. That co-worker then wanted to come back to the company. They also wanted to go and work directly with that top manager in the other department.
There was going to be a very high level meeting that was to be attended by most of the people in my department, as well as that top manager and a few who reported directly to that top manager. The top manager also wanted to bring the co-worker who was not an employee to the meeting. Highly proprietary confidential information was to be discussed at this meeting. I was in a dilemma as I knew that by having the non-employee attend this business meeting was against company policy. There were written guidelines specifically on this matter. I was expected to attend this meeting. "What should I do?", I thought. If I did not attend the meeting, I could get fired, yet if I did attend the meeting, and the ethics department found out, I too could be fired.
I decided to go to my two managers within my department and explain the situation and explain to them that I would not be attending this meeting. I stated company policy on why I could not attend this meeting. A week before the meeting was suppose to happen, the top manager of that department was fired. I do not know all the details on why that top manager was fired, but I have my suspicions.
I believe if the top manager was not fired, all those who were going to go to the meeting would have been fired including myself. It would have wiped out a whole department. The reason would be discussing highly confidential information with a non-employee of the company. It was a very difficult position to be in, but I knew the stakes were very high and that I needed to do the right thing, even if it meant that I lost my job. Through my actions, I believe I saved some people their jobs, including my own. No one knows why that manager was really fired. There is only a lot of rumors as to what really transpired. It pays to know and follow corporate policy and guidelines, especially when it comes to ethics.
I believe the following quote out of our text book applies to me.
"Although we believe there are many practical benefits to being ethical, many business people make decisions because they believe a particular course of action is simply the right thing to do as responsible members of society." (L. Ferrell, O.C. Ferrell, Fraedrich, 2015)

Do you agree with the conclusions of the Mean World Syndrome? Do you perceive the world as mean primarily because it looks that way on television, or is it really a mean world out there? How much television do you watch? If you are a “heavy” TV watcher, do you think that has an impact on your perceptions? Why or why not? How do you think the media affect our perceptions of the world?
