Whose Job Is It, Anyway?
Choosing your field of business is one of the hardest decision for an individual to make. You are choosing what you will do for the rest of your life or at least or however long you’re allowed to do so. Only you can make that decision, there’s no way or reason for you to allow someone else to make that decision for you.
What Makes an Organization’s Work Unethical?
The exploitation of workers
The exploitation of consumers
Environmental exploitation
Ethically dubious missions and connections
The exploitation of workers- is one of the most frequent areas in corporate abuse. For example, Nike pays athletes to break a sweat for a few days just for pictures but pay people in Asia just a couple of dollars to make the shoes advertised by these athletes.
The exploitation of consumers- is making deals with customers who don’t fully know the consequences. For example, making a person who barely knows English sign a contract that will later come back and do worse for them than good.
Environmental exploitation- more than likely invisible because it being pollution, deforestation, and poisoned water and soil. Companies that pollute may not even be held responsible for the harmful consequences.
Ethically dubious missions and connections- double as a source of ethically challenged industries; there’ll be people for it and others against it, but either way the questions are there
abortion doctors,
judges sending inmates to death row,
advocates of assisted suicide.
