1. Consider the implications of two recent headlines: "Fiat Chrysler Shares Crash by a Fifth as it is Drawn into Emissions Scandal by US Regulators" and "FBI Arrests Volkswagen Executive emissions Scandal." it appears that Fiat Chrysler and Volkswagen not only failed to act responsibly to comply with emissions regulations but they also committed fraud to make government officials and the public believe they were in compliance. Do you think Fiat Chrysler and Volkswagen are regretting the decisions they made in the past to avoid compliance costs? What costs are they paying now?

2. "The single most important and pervasive moral obligation facing mankind is to ensure survival of a healthy planet for our grandchildren and theirs". Do you agree? Why or Why not?

Expert Solution

Answer 1= It is quite difficult to see that the famous automobile companies were trying to disguise the government and common public by stating or claiming the false adherence tot eh standards related to emission. They must be regretting on their decision s it not only resulted in legal actions financial penalties but it also had a very bad image of the company. The organizations spend millions of dollars to create strong brand names and such an unethical action really tarnish their brand value. The loss of customer's faith, decreased brand value are the prime costs which are being paid by the company at present.

Answer 2= I completely agree with the statement as if we have a helathy planet, we can enasre he better future of the upcoming generations, They willl have enough natural resources to enjoy, clean air to breath and healthy environment tto live in. If the current level of pollution depletion of foresat and increased global temperature are continued to exists then all these ethings will be distant drea and will definitely put the future generations' fate at risk
