Responsibility to protect

The two companies I want to introduce are Monsanto and ADM, both of them which are related to agriculture and are related to the people, and both are multinational companies. In terms of ethics, because of the wide range of areas involved, the creation of this aspect should be paid more attention to. Monsanto Company is a multinational agricultural Company in the United States that operates mainly agricultural products, while ADM is a multinational Company that operates agricultural and sideline…

amount of changes happening around the world. In 1970, Friedman argued that businesses only have one responsibility, and that is to make as much money as possible (Friedman, 33). As the heads in charge of business are given a set of goals to accomplish by the owners, and most of the times the goal is to only increase profits(Friedman, 33). However, being the social animals there are social responsibilities of humans, which they must carry out independently, not involving the business (Friedman,…

An emergency situation can influence someone’s ability to help. Many factors can interrupt a person’s ability to help: possibility of danger, presence of other people, willingness to help and even nervousness. We often watch shows like “What Would You Do?” and think we would do the right thing and intervene in such situations. However, people often see things happen and do nothing thinking that others will help. Hopefully being aware of such a thing called the bystander effect, will help people…

Introduction The article “Bystander Intervention in Emergencies: Diffusion of Responsibility” was written in 1968 by John M. Darley of New York University and Bibb Latane of Columbia University. The study is based on a 1964 incident in New York in which a young woman by the name of Kitty Genovese, was stabbed to death even though 38 people witnessed the crime from their apartments. None of the witnesses came to her aid or even called the police during the attack even though it lasted for…

Does witnessing someone else's distress and possessing the capability to help consider the witness involved? “ ‘I didn’t want to get involved,’ he sheepishly told the police.” A witness that can help is involved, they could save the person’s life, but chooses not too. Therefore, this excuse of not getting involved is no where near justified as they were already involved.…

It is not as easy as one would think to come to the rescue of another during their time of need. The reasoning behind this is explained by a social-psychological phenomenon known as the 'bystander effect'. The bystander effect refers to cases in which a presence of people deters individuals from providing assistance to a 'victim' in a time of need: the more people there are, the less likely they are to offer help. Possibly the most infamous case of the bystander effect was the 1964 murder of…

failed in several ways, they did not uphold the pillars of ethics. In making decisions, the book suggested questions a practitioner must consider such as “Will these actions harm others?” and what is the viewed concept of “fairness and social responsibility” in the situation? (Parsons, P. p. 20-21) The public relations team should have provided guidance to the situation and properly evaluate the suggested advertisement with a clear sense of values. Pepsi’s public relations team failed at being…
