...ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY Corporate Governance and Ethical Responsibility Marshan Brown Leg-Bus 500 Law, Ethics, and Corporate Governance Professor Daniel Smith May 13, 2012 ETHICAL RESPOSIBILITY Determine at least three different internal and external stakeholders that Dr. Do Right might have to deal with on a daily basis at the hospital. Discuss the duty of loyalty owed to each internal and external stakeholder. Dr. Do Right has a duty of loyalty to employees, society, and board of directors. Each duty of loyalty has its’ own significant meaning. Dr. Do Right signed a contractual agreement with Universal Human Health Hospital and took an oath to run the daily operations of the hospital, implement procedures and decisions made by the board of directors, and give updates and reports to the board members and shareholders about the financial status and daily operations of the organization. First of all, Dr. Do Right must communicate procedures, policies, and business goals to his management team. He must educate them on business changes, developmental opportunities, and all other vital information to help them to administer and communicate the organizations’ policies, expectations, and needs to lower level employees. Dr. Do Right must also display leadership qualities that are positive, respectful, and effective...

...Personal Responsibility David S Larsen March 27, 2013 Personal Responsibility Attending College can be difficult in the best of times but even more so today with all the external pressures associated with education including economics and sociological pressures. There are stresses all around students in college, everywhere they look. Students feel pressure to do well, to learn the material, to impress the teacher, to please their parents, to take care of themselves financially and sociologically. For many students, college will be the first step into adulthood and the first time that they really have to take responsibility for their own lives. A person finally breaks free from their parents or guardians and has to do for themselves. Therefore it is important to accept this responsibility and also to be accountable for choices and the actions that are perpetrated by the individual. One of the ways that a person can take responsibility for themselves is to reduce the stress and thereby do better in their scholastic endeavors. Researchers have determined the top ten most common hassles associated with attending college which contribute to stress. These include: fear about the future, lack of sleep, wasting time, smoking and its health effects from either first or second-hand smoke, their physical appearance, the feeling that they have too much to do, misplacing or losing important materials or personal property, not having enough time for the things...

...Ethnical Responsibility for businesses When companies are making billions of dollars because of the hard work of their employees I believe it’s time to pay it forward. So yes, I do believe that a business has an ethical responsibility to give back to society. Shareholders are making high six figures salaries for watching the workers work and maybe sometimes in a blue moon improving the work flow. But for the people who actually have to spend more than 9 hours at a job a day for five or more days a week, putting their bodies and health on the line should be getting paid more than $9.50/hour. A family of four cannot successfully live off an income of $25,000 a year, unless they honestly have no bill which is highly unlikely. I believe a business who makes millions and have the extra money should praise their workers with that extra dollar or two raise. I also think that to help motivate people and to give back having things such as a once a year or even up to 3 times a year cookout is giving back. This will give the workers a place to eat for free or even pay a certain price for the family to eat free. It will give coworkers a break from only meeting up to work and everyone will be able to meet and get to know each other. A business that has given raises to their employees would be Brazos County. The juvenile officers have received an almost $1.30 raise and the jail officers have received an almost $2.00 raise. They also give back by hosting holiday events for staff and...

...Mass Media: A platform to give strength to the weak or a loaded gun in the hands of humanity? “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth…because they control the minds of the masses” (Malcom X, 2012). Media has responsibilities and these responsibilities need to be clarified and upheld by society. Unfortunately, media today does not abide by moral standards, which in turn sends mixed messages to our society. Often times these messages are demoralizing, desensitizing, and false. Young people and adults alike are trying to navigate through their lives and through the world with a broken compass. The role media plays in issues such as self-worth, bullying, and suicide need to be addressed and revised. I will discuss media and its role and responsibility through the perspective of both a classical and contemporary ethical theory. The classical theory that will be discussed is virtue ethics, which is the study of the virtuous character of a person (Mosser, 2010, p.1.7). The contemporary theory that will be discussed is emotivism, which is basing one’s moral decisions on one’s feelings and emotions (Mosser, 2010, p.1.8). Concluding, I will discuss which theory is closer to my own personal view and why I chose that particular theory. While freedom of speech and personal connection are very important, age appropriate moral standards should be upheld in the media because media plays a significant role in suicide, bullying, and self-worth. According to Mosser...

...Ethics and Corporate Responsibility in the Workplace and the World Lateesha Grant Legal 500 February 12, 2014 Meredith Brasca PharmaCARE (We CARE about YOUR health®)\is one of the world’s most successful pharmaceutical companies, enjoying a reputation as a caring, ethical and well-run company that produced high-quality products that saved millions of lives and enhanced the quality of life for millions of others. The company offers free and discounted drugs to low-income consumers, has a foundation that sponsors healthcare educational programs and scholarships, and its CEO serves on the PhRMA board. PharmaCARE recently launched a new initiative, We CARE about YOUR world®, pledging its commitment to the environment through recycling, packaging changes and other green initiatives, despite the fact that the company’s lobbying efforts and PAC have successfully defeated environmental laws and regulations, including extension of the Superfund tax, which was created by Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

...Advantages WRITTEN 1.Hard to change. This is VERY beneficial. 2.It is easy to understand your rights. 3.It sets FIXED NON-NEGOCIABLE boundries, duties and resposibilities to the governmental bodies. 4.It can be "re-interpreted" over the generations without having to be modified. Disadvantages (from the point of view of Government): 1.Hard to change. 2.It is easy for you to understand your rights 3.It sets FIXED boundries, duties and resposibilities to the governmanetal bodies. 4.It can be "re-interpreted" over the generations without having to be modified. ADVANTAGES: UNWRITTEN An unwritten constitution based on conventions has the advantage of being extremely adaptable or flexible. Since it is unwritten, it can be changed easily to deal with new situations. All that is necessary for the practises to be changed is for Parliament to agree that change is necessary. Old constitutional practises do not become 'millstones' that make it difficult to deal with changed circumstances. There is an entrenchment, but one that given democratic consensus may be more easily modified than as a written constitution. So long as democratic processes are in place and Parliament and the Judiciary act as elected guardians, then in many ways the British Constitution appears more fitted to reflect a changing world and changing circumstances. Unwritten Constitution changes to reflect the times in which we live. DISADVANTAGE: It carries risks. If a constitution is to place limits on government...

Dogs are not always obediant and can be a problem for public saftey. The responsibility should be the dog owner problem for their dog getting excersice. I for one am not a wealthy person and do not have any extra money to pay for something I wont even use. Money is a necesity and I do not want to spend my hard earned money on a public dog park, that a lot of non-tax payers will probably be using, more than those of us that do pay for it.

...International Management: Managing Across Borders and Cultures, Text and Cases, Seventh Edition SEVENTH EDITION FEATURES • Streamlined text in eleven chapters, with particular focus on global strategic positioning, entry strategies and alliances, effective cross-cultural understanding and management, and develop- ing and retaining an effective global management cadre. The seventh edition has been revised to reflect current research, current events and global developments, and includes company examples from the popular press. In Chapter 1, we introduce trends and developments facing international managers and then expand those topics in the context of the subsequent chapters. For example, we discuss developments in globalization and its growing nationalist backlash— in particular resulting from the global financial crisis. We discuss the effects on global business of the rapidly growing economies of China and India and other emerging economies such as those in Africa, and the expansion of the EU; the globalization of human capital; and the esca- lating effects of Information Technology and the global spread of e-business. We follow these trends and their effects on the role of the international manager throughout the book. For exam- ple, in Chapter 6 we focus further on strategies for emerging markets, while also dealing with changing strategies to respond to economic decline around the world and an increasing level of nationalism in some industries; we have a...
