Question

Right/Responsibilities, result, reputation, relationship lens. Each of the ethical lenses has both vices (deliberate actions making an unethical choice) and risks (unexpected consequences). These vices and risks occur when other viewpoints are not considered in our decisions. Can you describe examples of people in the news who wound up in trouble because they weren't paying attention to their ethical vices or risks?

Answer 1

As human all people have different insights, point of view and things that they wanted to achieve . In some point if they don't like that certain idea even if its for good then definitely they would disagrees with it and that is the time that contention will commence.In today's more complex and competitive business era, business and ethics has been become a rare concept for the organization. All the organization only wants to maximize their profits by any means.
The whole concept of business ethics is a concept of complying with norms established by authorities. be they society or others. Establishing those norms and then complying with those norms that's what ethics is all about.
Everyday in the news someone is getting arrested for robbing or stealing (greed) or in the more severe cases killing. We see multiple counts of peoples vices controlling their actions which in turn go punished by the law.
For example:-
1.One of the most common recent examples is Kathy Griffin, with her Donald Trump issues. Griffin certainly knew therewas a huge risk posting such a controversial picture, but that didn’t stop her. She crossed the line in my view, and I feel like there’s certainly a line when it comes to comedy that you should know not to cross. Griffin should have thought about the backlash she was going to receive from this picture before going forward with the picture. Another example would be woman by the name of Tomi Lahren, I think just her name ignites fires under people. Lahren is known for making many statements that are controversial and affects many different ethnicities. Many of her comments or statements can be interpreted to be racist or one sided. Lahren says what’s on her mind, something that isn’t particularly good. Lahren doesn’t seem to ever think about more than just one party that is involved, instead she jumps feet first into a topic without thinking about some of the repercussions she’s going to face once she’s done speaking.
2.We currently have a company called FanDuel that allows player to gamble online with fantasy sports teams. The government is trying to shut them down because online gambling is illegal. We also see people inside the company using trade secrets to place bets based off on team analysis that is only open to employees. A great deal of media has started to surround this topic. It is filled with thevices of greed and deception.
3.Six months for frat boy Brock Allen Turner raping a female student is an insult to women, especially the one-in-four women that have been raped and/or sexually assaulted."
"This judge is a horrible judge. he gave a six month sentence to a man convicted for three felony counts due to rape. He deserves to be off the bench!"
"The extreme leniency and empathy afforded to a convicted rapist, Turner, in the sentencing phase is incomprehensible ..."
Two men riding bicycles on campus about 1 a.m. saw Turner on top of an unconscious woman, according to the police report filed with the criminal complaint, the Los Angeles Times reported.
A campus police officer found the woman lying behind a dumpster near an on-campus fraternity. She had been drinking, according to her own account.In the past seven days, Turner's name has been mentioned more than 48,000 times on Twitter. The hashtag #BrockTurner was tweeted more than 28,000 times.
Stanford Professor Michele Landis Dauber voiced her outrage about Turner's sentence Monday on CNN's "Legal View with Ashleigh Banfield."
"The message [Persky] sent to women at Stanford is, 'You're on your own,' " she said.
4.Consider an another. infamous case that, when it broke, had all the earmarks of conscious top-down corruption. The Ford Pinto, a compact car produced during the 1970s, became notorious for its tendency in rear-end collisions to leak fuel and explode into flames. More than two dozen people were killed or injured in Pinto fires before the company issued a recall to correct the problem. Scrutiny of the decision process behind the model’s launch revealed that under intense competition from Volkswagen and other small-car manufacturers, Ford had rushed the Pinto into production. Engineers had discovered the potential danger of ruptured fuel tanks in preproduction crash tests, but the assembly line was ready to go, and the company’s leaders decided to proceed. Many saw the decision as evidence of the callousness, greed, and mendacity of Ford’s leaders—in short, their deep unethicality.

This is disappointing but unsurprising. Even the best-intentioned ethics programs will fail if they don’t take into account the biases that can blind us to unethical behavior, whether ours or that of other.Above all, be aware as a leader of your own blind spots, which may permit, or even encourage, the unethical behaviors you are trying to extinguish.
