    • 1914 Words
    • 8 Pages

Life, its participants, and the society we create in a state is far too complex for laws and regulations to work or to be conducted as intended every time.

The passing of the Building Act 1991 brought about over 11 billion dollars of damage and counting, due to its movement in stance to that of a more self regulating framework for builders and councils. It is still a huge ongoing problem. More recently, the Novopay payroll system has cost taxpayers over 45 million dollars to fix the enormous problems within it. Thousands of teachers were underpaid, overpaid, or not paid at all for months or years at a time. With this in mind, it is obviously incredibly important is that we learn from…

    In examining the social bottom line, we have considered our ethical obligation to our consumers, but we should also remove the self-interested lens of ethical egoism and consider our ethical obligation to societal moral rules and the law. While proceeding to distribute at-home reports in spite of the FDA may not necessarily break the law, it disrespects the authority of a government agency dedicated to protecting the public’s health.
