Should the abusive policeperson in question not only be criminally charged but also forced to pay any settlement out of their pocket?
b. When a company or organization acts in an ethically questionable manner, what types of problems are caused for the organization and its customers?
c. Why is there so much government regulation involving social responsibility issues? Should there be less?
d. How can an employee take an ethical stand regarding a business decision when his or her superior already has taken a different position?
e. Should a company be held liable for the conduct of its suppliers? (For instance, a major supplier to Microsoft and Apple is Foxconn in China.)
f. This past year we’ve seen the President of the United States conduct his ethics in many questionable ways, from discrimination against Muslims to support for white supremacist organizations, to enriching himself and his family with his properties while he’s in office.
