...and detail some of the following important moral issues that go along with whistle blowing. I will show how this could affect any one by going over a classic case of an Eastern Airlines pilot .As well as considering how an individual can protect him or herself from becoming the victim when trying to blow the whistle. Under what circumstances, if any, is whistle blowing morally justified? Some people have said that whistle blowers are horrible people. I for one think that they are not. There are many good things that come from whistle blowing… Such as freedom of speech, and the closure of knowing what is happening out side of everyone’s basic life. Edward Snowden was known for “blowing the whistle on the NSA for wire tapping into our phones and e-mails” this was a major controversy for the people of America. Instead of Snowden being rewarded for what he did he was arrested. Later he was released there was a short press conference with him and he told the reporters that no one should be arrested for telling the truth. What the NSA did was horribly wrong in my eyes the people of America should have the rights to privacy, and the rights to the freedom of speech. Another major whistle blower was Julian Assange he developed the web site wikileaks. Wikileaks had information that has been held out from the people...

...The development of Information Communication Technology has created new ethical dilemmas due to the out-of-date moral, legal, and social boundaries. These boundaries can be represented by rules and legislation, laws and human nature. The expansion of technology has created a new era of office work. The majority of offices around the world are now filled with newly available technological advances; from personal computers to large network servers.

This is due to worries about; quality of work, productivity employee theft or misuse of company property One of the main ethical issues of the workplace is employee privacy and surveillance.

In 2009, the global economy contracted for the first time in the post-war era. In contrast, Australia grew by almost 1.5 per cent supported by monetary and fiscal policy stimulus, a well-functioning banking system, and strong growth in a number of East Asian economies. The third Rudd Government Budget, presented on 11 May 2010, was developed within an improving but still uncertain outlook, with events in Greece and other European Union countries reminding us of the risks to the global economic recovery. Strong economic growth in China and India is expected to continue to flow throughout the region and, despite a slower pace, the US is leading the recovery among our advanced economy major trading partners. Global economic growth is in the early stages of recovery but we should remain cognisant of the precarious economic environment which is continuing to challenge government policy makers around the globe. Once again the Parliamentary Library has produced the annual Budget Review that examines the key features of a selection of crucial measures contained...
