Running Head: Comparative business ethics and social responsibilityComparative businessethics and socialresponsibility
Comparative business ethics and social responsibility 1Moral Agent and subject of moral WorthAs per my opinion, this video explains the way in which people should treat each other and livetheir lives. The video tells about the thinking of Aristotle, which says that all people have right tolive their lives on their own way. One person’s perception shall not run the life of other person(Youtube 2018). In short I see it as our life is simply influenced by people and their views. Forinstance, if we take the example of a kindergarten, we often hear people saying that “no that’snot right”, “please don’t do this” or stop. Let’s just think that who said that what we are doing isright or wrong. Everything is right in my perspective unless until it is not harming the interest ofany person or is unethical (Korsgaard 2014). The difference between a moral agent and a subject of moral worth is that a moral agent has apower to intentionally harm some other person whereas subject of moral worth refers to thosepeople who can easily be affected by the people who have powers to rule them like, pets, kids,and natural resources. Further as per my views a moral agent is a person who works for thebetterment of the whole community and do not harm the subject of moral worth. The moralagents should justify their roles by holding on their responsibilities and they should understandtheir role and work on them. I believe that the environment will then become peaceful with suchacts.
Comparative business ethics and social responsibility 2IncrementalismThis presented video says that we should never look at things as wrong or unethical, all suchthings are just grey’s which have something wrong in them. People feel that they have a goodmoral character which makes them believe that all the decision which they make is based ongood choices only (Schwartz 2017). Cynthia Cooper, whistleblower of the WorldCom fraud saidthat people do not wakeup just another day and think that from now they will start their life ofcrime. But it is natural ongoing process which keeps on increasing day by day and this activity iscalled Incrementalism (Youtube 2018). So, as per my opinion Incrementalism is a slow going process of reaching towards bad andincreasing the count of unethical activities day by day. Like, on the initial level a person is usingoffice appliances and is taking them home for personal use. But then gradually this becomes theirhabit and they start to do this often. So increase in such unethical habits is wrong; also it doesmake a person feel that they are doing something wrong which is unjustifiable. Gino andBazerman experimented a similar concept on human and found that people unconsciously dosome act relating to unethicality and they slowly slip into that (Bendor 2015). And the toughestpart of this process is that people do not actually realize that what act is unethical. They feel thatthey are doing this from long time and it cannot be wrong or unethical. So, the best way to stop isthat starting thinking before initiating any activities in regular life.
