Drawing on your ethical compass as discussed in Learning Activity # 1 and using the video, “What is Ethics and Business Ethics,” from your assigned readings and viewings as a framework, how would you resolve the following ethical situation:

You are on a boat and nearby are two large rocks filled with persons waiting to be rescued; there are six people on one rock and five on the other. Assume that you cannot rescue both groups and that you are the only one able to rescue either group. Which group do you rescue?

In your response, be certain to identify what you believe is the ethical choice or dilemma that is presented, and discuss your reasons and possible alternative solutions to the one that you propose. Is what you would actually do different from what you should do? If so, why?

To what extent, if any, do you think this scenario is relevant to the question of why one studies business ethics in the first place?

Expert Solution

In the given scenario, I will focus on rescuing the group of a larger number of people and in this manner, I will be able to save a greater number of human lives. Yes, there will be a difference between the selected option and the ideal option. The most ideal situation will be one in which each human life is rescued but this option is not facilitated by the scenario. In this situation, I will evaluate the relative significance of both the groups on the basis of a number of lives to be rescued.

Business ethics can be defined as the ideal business practices along with the controversial issues for example bribery, discrimination, corporate governance, insider trading, corporate social responsibility and fiduciary responsibilities. Thus business ethics can be used to resolve the given scenario as it will help the decision maker of not being prejudice and have a greater sense of social responsibility
