PRINCIPLE/VALUES RESPONSIBILITY

HONESTYRESPECT

In matter of style,

swim with the current. In matters of principles,

STAND LIKE A ROCK.

Honesty is not a policy, It is a

STATE OF MIND!

When I look at a

person, I see a person. Not a RANK,

not a Class, not a TITLE.

Rank does not confer

PRIVILEGE or give POWER. It imposes

RESPONSIBILITY

ETHICAL THEORY

JUSTICE (FAIRNESS AND EQUITY)

Moral authority is determined by the extent,

opportunities, wealth, and burdens are fairly distributed among all.

ZEITGEST

MONEY comes before PEOPLE.

MAXIMIZING PROFIT is the ULTIMATE GOAL.

CANCER

*The cancer cure is not profitable. *But, the pills, treatments, and everything involved to “cure” cancer today is. *Therefore, pharmaceutical companies will do anything possible for the cancer cure to not be discovered by eople or not have a chance to cure patients.

MARKETING-Don’t deliver

the wrong product.

The ethical issue that Beacon raises for Facebook and its various stakeholders is the fact that users' privacy is being invaded. It's the fact

that everything that is going on Facebook and even on the web, advertisers can get an

ad to go along the side.

SARBANES-OXLEY

ACT

The Sarbanes-Oxley act is needed to put some sort of restriction on companies to commit fraud and lie to customers or investors. Laws are usually there to show companies that these sort of things are not excepted in our society and people will receive consequences if they do not follow the rules and regulations put forth by the government. However, this does not mean that people cannot actually commit such crimes. Therefore, if people are going to go after profits, they will do anything even if it means breaking laws to secure that extra cash.

GREATEST SPEECHI’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer

anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible- Jew, Gentile, black men, white…

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others’ happiness,

not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room

for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and

beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into

misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind.

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery ,we need humanity. More than

cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all

will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.

Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men

torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say “Do not despair.”

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the

people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Soldiers! Don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who

drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!

Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men—machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are

not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have a love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate!

Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it’s written “the kingdom of God is within man”, not one man nor a

group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the

power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this

life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.

Let us all unite.

Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and

old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not

fulfill their promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!

Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do

away with greed, with hate and intolerance!

Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness.

Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

ETHICS APPLIES TO ! ! ! ! BUSINESS TOO!

! Confidential and top secrets of many governments have managed to be publicly exposed to the world, with the help of the advanced technology. The WikiLeaks website (www.WikiLeaks.org) has served as a communication tool and a topic of controversy, for a few years. Many people say that it is solely a practice of our first Amendment which is the freedom of speech. Others, view this act illegal and think the exposed topics need to be kept privately to not show the flaws and the corruption of a certain government. Some even think that revealing undisclosed claims about governments and certain acts is morally wrong and can negatively hurt the citizens of a country. Governments think secrets need to be kept in order to protect its citizens. Little to these governments know that keeping secrets and having a website reveal secrets will only make their citizens lose trust in them. Condemning WikiLeaks for exposing the truth is the same as denying and forgetting that a government is hiding it’s flaws, it’s games, and it’s fraudulent decisions away from the public.
