Therefore, I
was forced to dismiss this friend from the job, due to my ethically
grounded sense of responsibility to serve an organization to the fairest of
my duties.
Naturally, the result of this would be two-fold. The organization
would benefit as I was able to make another hire with greater dedication
and capability in the position. My workplace stress and the load of my
responsibilities would be lessened by this improvement. On the other hand,
my friendship with this individual never recovered. We had clashed
frequently at the workplace and though I labored over the decision, I had
given him ample warning that he was jeopardizing the security of both of
our jobs, he showed little respect toward changing his behavior. The
result for me was a careful meditation over the moral implications of this
situation. As a friend for whom I had clearly gone out on a limb, his
ethical responsibility to me, let alone to the organization, should have
been sufficient enough to alter his behavior. That it wasn't would
ultimately be cause enough for me to push for his dismissal, feeling that
at that juncture my ethical responsibility would be to the organization.
More than anything, I believe that this strengthened my position in
the organization, with my willingness to do that which was necessary, even
at the expense of this friendship, engendering trust in my ethical
disposition. It would be clear to my superiors that I had taken my role as
an investment of moral leadership. Here, our research contends that "moral
leadership is not mere preaching, or the uttering of pieties, or the
insistence on social conformity. Moral leadership emerges from, and always
returns to, the fundamental wants and needs, aspirations and values of the
followers." (Wren, 483) In instances where the values of followers
especially appear to be lacking, there is a necessity...
Warning systems are essential to communicating threats, whether man-made, technological, or natural, to the public. In this paper, we provide a summary overview of at least two types of disaster warning systems used in the international disaster community or a nation's communication system (other than the U.S.). The disaster warning systems in this paper are the flood warning system (Flood Alerts Map) used in the UK and Japanese Earthquake Early
Tsunami Warning Systems as Potential Disaster Mitigaters Large-scale disasters are more possible in today's world than ever before. Due to both natural and man-made phenomena, the latter of which comprises everything from global warming to nuclear weapons, catastrophes are much more prescient. These disasters have been seen in various instances, especially in the Pacific, the most recent of which is the tsunami that hit Japan. Tsunamis are a deadly natural force
When the overindulge had taken place, the GuardianBlue Early Warning System not only alarmed but also categorized the probable reason of the problem to be a fluoride overfeed. This then permitted a quick reply before customers of water were unprotected to possibly hazardous heights of fluoride. Fluoride, while deadly at reasonable to high doses, is usually measured helpful for dental health at doses that were very low. The most
Tsunami Warning System The December 2004 tsunami shocked the world, literally taking it by storm. It killed nearly 300,000 people in Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and its devastating effects were felt as afar away as Africa, where several people died as a result. The tsunami was preceded and directly caused by a magnitude 9.15 earthquake that occurred off the coast of Sumatra. Although there was a significant lag between the
To the extent the totality of circumstances suggest that possibility, even acceptance of the most nominal gratuities (i.e. A cup of coffee) is ethically inappropriate. Similarly, even where the gratuity involved is of nominal value and there is no potential misunderstanding on the part of the individual proffering an otherwise appropriate gratuity, there is the issue of creating the appearance or inference of an improper relationship from the perspective of
Additionally, Weston Smith's wife Susan Jones-Smith, was also a finance executive at the company, a further example of the incestuous relationships that characterized the financial leadership of HealthSouth. A failure of the company meant the failure in the financial future of the family of one's friends and spouses. Another warning sign should have been the nature of the company's assets. The firm was able to conceal its financial shenanigans for
