Ethics and moral responsibility

Ethics and moral responsibility are fundamental concepts in philosophy and human behavior. They both involve the evaluation of actions, decisions, and behaviors in terms of their rightness or wrongness, with an emphasis on the impact they have on individuals, society, and the world as a whole.

Ethics refers to the study of moral principles that govern human conduct and the reasoning behind determining what is morally right or wrong. It provides a framework for individuals to make decisions and choices in their personal and professional lives. Ethical principles often stem from various sources, including religious beliefs, cultural norms, philosophical theories, and social values.

Moral responsibility, on the other hand, refers to the idea that individuals are accountable for the consequences of their actions and are expected to uphold ethical standards. It implies that individuals have the ability to recognize the difference between right and wrong and should be held responsible for their choices.

Together, ethics and moral responsibility shape human behavior, influence decision-making processes, and guide individuals and societies toward promoting the greater good, fairness, and justice. They play a crucial role in various aspects of life, including business, politics, medicine, and interpersonal relationships, fostering a more harmonious and compassionate world.

"Einstein's Epistle Post-War: A Letter to Humanity"

In the somber aftermath of World War II, Albert Einstein, the trailblazing physicist, poured his contemplations onto paper, transcending the boundaries of science to address the essence of humanity. Dated 1945, his letter not only encapsulated thoughts but conveyed the profound emotions stirred by the cataclysmic events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 🔍 “The unleashed power of the atom has changed…

Warning: This video contains real & upsetting footage of Electric Shock. Watch with Caution.

There has to be a better way. I think the use of Electric Shock on ANY living being should be FORBIDDEN. I have nothing political to say - this is strictly about simple human decency. We have to consider a better solution that doesn’t compromise the integrity of those who are seeking a better life and those are who are here to ensure the best living conditions for all people through legislative means.

It is fundamentally wrong to have such inhumane practices and there is nothing civil or graceful whatsoever about Electric Shock.

Should we be concerned about Venezuela? 🤔 . It is now almost a year since President Trump hinted at a "military option" to remove Maduro from power. Now a Utah man and his wife who were recently freed from a Venezuelan jail after two years were honored at the Provo Freedom Awards Gala. These are just some of the concerning factors that prompted our question for today. What is really going on in the South American country is hard to describe, with tells about food and medicine shortages, human rights abuses as well as oil prices manipulation, wide spread government corruption and narco influence. The question in our mind remains, should we be concerned about the country and do something about it? #briefnews . . ✏️ What do you think? Share your ideas👇🏻 .

It was #2008 when after working in one #organization for more than #5years which was very dear to me being my first #Working organization I was #lost and #unhappy. I wanted to #explore new #options and add to my #learning that was missing.

But, I was pretty #comfortable in that place with the same people. Then I #realized there was an #emotional #attachment but there was also #fear to have a #change and get out of my #comfortzone which was a bigger #obstacle.

Anyways I had to take a #decision and I took it. Then, I kept following it which #resulted in a #new and #better me, Lots of #learning, #growth in my #career, and as a #person.

No doubt, I had to give a lot in terms of #efforts, #time, and much more but the #outcome was #fabulous.

The same thing started repeating in #2017 but this time it was not #fearofchange. It was to let go of what I already had and #chase a new #dream which was bigger. This time I took 2 #years to #decide what to do as last time it would be an addition but this time it was #chasing a dream where the results are not sure. I have been watching this with open eyes now.

It is my #mission and it is having my #intentions right which was in my #subconscious #mind earlier but now #clear in front of me. It is my time to have #independence fully and give back to #society.

The mission is

"To help 10,000 people to accelerate their career with career hack and communication skills".

 Case Studies

CASE STUDY (20 Marks)

San Francisco: Waste from computers, televisions and other devises used in the United States is polluting environment and exposing workers to toxic chemicals in region of India and China where discarded electronics are dismantled, a study released on Wednesday said. Researchers detected high levels of toxic metals in more than 70 samples collected in March from industrial waste, river sediment, soil and groundwater around the southern Chinese City of Guiyu and the suburbs of New Delhi, according to the report by Greenpeace International. Dust from dismantling workshops contained the highest level of contaminants. “The extent of the contamination is even worse than we had feared. The levels analyzed are really scary and very concerning,” said Ted Smith, the founder of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition who chairs the computer Take Back Campaign, which promotes electronics recycling. Most of the electronics collected in the United States for recycling are supplied to China, India and other Asian countries where worker protection and environmental safety standards are weak, Smith said. The researchers chose to collect samples from theMayapuri and Burari areas of New Delhi because the two regions are known to dismantle discarded American electronics to recover valuable metals such s gold, platinum and silver. The samples collected from those areas contained elevated levels of heavy metals including lead, tin, copper, cadmium and antimony.

 Answer the following question.

 Q1. Give your viewpoints on the above case.

 Q2. Why the surplus electronics items of United States are accepted by India and China? Explain in detail. Policy of Prohibition (20 Marks)

 Prohibition is good and women would appreciate a policy of prohibition. However some state governments may scrap prohibition on the grounds that (i) the adjoining states do not observe prohibition, hence people visit those states to quench their desire for the beverage (ii) the existence of illicit distillation and the difficulty in stopping this (iii) the strain on government resources for implementing prohibition, including the loss of revenue from excise duty.

 Answer the following question.

 Q1. Are these grounds ethically justifiable? Explain.

 Q2. In your opinion what are the benefits of prohibition.

 CASE STUDY (20 Marks)

Monitoring of air and noise pollution is necessary in the interests of public health. Every year the festival of light (Diwali) is celebrated with great enthusiasm in India. Recently, the Pollution Control Board has appealed to citizens and traders not to use or deal in banned firecrackers such as Lava Bomb 1 to 5, Shera atom bomb, confetti, Bo force Gun, Fire ball, Lal Mirchi Cony 2000 Buz, Beautiful Flowers, Shooting stars, and Crackling King. These fire crackers were banned as they generate noise levels between 125 and 145 decibels, thereby violating noise pollution limits. The department of explosives is supposed to implement the standards in accordance with the information received by it from the Pollution Control Board. Further, according to the Environment Protection Agency EPA (1988), the noise code states: “The manufacture, sale or use of fire crackers generating noise level exceeding 125 decibels to 145 decibels at 4 meter distance from the point of bursting is prohibited”. After observing that the prescribed noise levels were not properly adhered to during the festival, the Pollution Control Board sent reports to the Department of Explosives for information and action. Even though the Pollution Control Board appealed to the citizens to refrain from buying these banned crackers and asked traders not to sell such offending fire crackers, the appeal fail on deaf ears, and noise pollution limits were flagrantly violated.

 Answer the following question.

 Q1. Give an overview of the above case.

 Q2. Explain the ethical aspects in the above case

 Q3. Explain the unethical aspects in the above case

 Q4. What are your viewpoints in the above case w.r.t. ethical issues.

The notion of corporate moral responsibility has expanded significantly in the past few decades, according to Manuel Velasquez, chair of the Santa Clara University Management Department. The Charles Dirksen Professor in Ethics provided a theoretical look at the topic in a presentation for the June 13, 2006, meeting of the Business and Organizational Ethics Partnership. Katie Tillman Buck, associate director of corporate affairs and ethics at Affymetrix, followed Velasquez with a description of how her company, a leading supplier of genetic diagnostic research equipment, approaches corporate moral responsibility. Moral responsibility can be interpreted two ways, Velasquez said: in terms of obligation or duty; or in terms of culpability. "The notion of moral responsibility that we have, both in the law and in our everyday lives, is fairly straight forward," Velasquez explained. "A person or an agent or a party is morally

responsible for an injury if 1) they caused it, 2) they knew what they were doing, and 3) they could have prevented it." This concept applies to corporations as well. Traditionally, a company was morally responsible for injuries it inflicted provided the same three factors held. However, the idea of moral responsibility has been expanding over the years. "During the second half of the 20th century, a company was held responsible for injuries users of its products inflicted on themselves," he said. "The company is held morally responsible provided they knew about it in some way, or should have known about it, and it could have prevented it." This interpretation expanded even further with the idea of strict liability. "A company is now held responsible also for injuries users inflicted on themselves, even when the company could not have prevented it," Velasquez said. Over the last couple of years, acompany's scope of moral responsibility has even extended upstream (to suppliers) as well as downstream (to endusers). "During the last 20 years or so, there are a number of companies that have been held morally responsible not legally but in the eyes of the public have been held morally responsible for injuries that their suppliers have inflicted on some third party," he noted. Companies in the apparel industry, toy manufacturing, electronics assembly, and others have been perceived as accessories to the mistreatment of workers by their suppliers, even if they have not been directly involved. Many now try to prevent that by doing onsite inspections. Downstream responsibility has also expanded in the last two decades or so. "Companies have been held morally responsible for injuries which they did not inflict on somebody else, injuries in which their product was not defective, but injuries in which one of their customers used one of their products to inflict an injury on a third party," he said. Gun manufacturers and bar owners are twonotable examples. "It's odd when you think about it, because this differs pretty substantially from that first notion of moralresponsibility with which we began, where a party is morally responsible for an injury they inflict on another person knowingly and being able to prevent it. This is a very stretched notion of moral responsibility that's being used today," he said. This brings up two theoretical questions: 1) To what extent is a company morally responsible for the way in which its customers use its products? 2) How can a company minimize its exposure to this kind of moral responsibility? The second question is commonly dealt with before the fact by monitoring who buys the products (for example, checking the background of potential gun buyers) or after the fact by using publicists and lawyers. But as one attendee of the BOEP meeting noted, many companies do not want to answer the first question because they are afraid of the answer. By asking the question, they become responsible for monitoring their product's use. Such reluctance has not been the case with the Santa Clara, Calif., company Affymetrix. "There's this awareness in the general community as well as the genetics community that genetic information is powerful," Buck acknowledged. The Affymetrix technology, for example, can put 6.5 million discrete pieces of genetic information on a single chip. "It can be used for a lot of great things, and it can probably be used for a few bad things." According to Buck, Affimetrix understands that exploring the ethics of how its chips are used is ultimately in the company's best interests. "Our interests looking into these issues of moral responsibility, looking at these ethical issues, really melds very well with what our business goals are," Buck explained. "We're at the stage where not being thorough, getting embroiled in something that just feels bad to people, would be bad for us and would be bad for the technology's ability to address all those markets we want to be in." The company has taken a proactive approach to these concerns, setting up an Ethics Advisory Committee to address moral and ethical issues. The committee consists of seven external participants who have varied backgrounds, including law, anthropology, genetics, bioethics, and sociology. They offer independent, non corporate views on the issues. "They're very different. We actually picked them not with the idea that they wouldn't get along, but with the idea that they wouldn't agree. Our goal at these meetings is to really get everything out on the table," she said. The committee meets four times a year. "We always have two or three executives in the room, as well as a selection of people from throughout the organization," Buck said. Her goal over the past five years has been to embed the idea in the corporate culture that ethics are important and that this committee is available to people throughout the organization. Discussions vary at the meetings. "A lot of what we talk about at the Ethics Advisory Committee is completely hypothetical. It's becoming less hypothetical over time. It's becoming more and more realistic now," she said. "But we're really trying to get ahead of the ball." One issue the committee has looked at has been newborn screening the practice of automatically testing newborns for existing diseases and conditions before they leave the hospital. Even though Affymetrix products are not currently used in newborn screening, they could be, so the committee has addressed issues such as informed consent, genetic privacy, storage of samples, the need for federal regulations, etc. Putting ethics into practice The committee has discussed less hypothetical situations as well. For example, the company received a proposal from an Israeli company that intended to use an Affymetrix chip to test for disorders common to that population, including TaySachs disease. It included several other disorders, as well, both treatable and untreatable, in addition to late onset diseases, with no indication of when the testing would be done. The proposal also indicated that the company intended to market a Palestinian chip, and even a Swedish chip. The red flags this project raised (possible geopolitical implications and questionable genetics, among others) concerned Affymetrix. Additionally, Affymetrix determined that the company was more of a marketing firm than a genetic testing company, so they declined to be involved with the project. "That wasn't really the first thing we wanted to do coming out ofthe gate, so we passed on that," Buck said. The constant emergence of new markets for genetic technology means new questions every day. "This is a new industry. This is new research people are doing," Buck noted. Taking part not only in internal discussions about moral responsibility, but national discussions as well, "being informed on what's going on and weighing in on the things that are particular to the kinds of data that we're generating" is a way of helping shape the moral climate of the industry as well.
