Claim 2 --. PPT 1 SLIDE 22
Integrity is an essential part of professionalism
, - Every professional who wants to do his/her job in a responsible way is frequently confronted with the
question "what is here and now the morally right thing to do?"
- Integrity delivers trust; trust is an absolute prerequisite in business. Especially in a world that is lacking
integrity and is in great need of moral leadership.
What is ethics all about?
3 questions to be aware of:
- How do you recognize an ethical problem?
- Define ethics!
- Is ethics important for a professional? Why/not?
Example of an ethic problem:
Case 1:
Mark & Rebecca are on their honeymoon. They are making a trip to experience the beauty of the desert. Mark
and Rebecca are alone in the hot desert. They are both nearly dying of thirst. Mark has one bottle of water
that will allow him enough time to make it back to civilization. If he will share the water with Rebecca, both will
die.
What is Mark morally obligated to do?
1. Drink it and save his own life
2. Give it to Rebecca to save her life
3. Split it, (and let both die)
Responsible
To take into sufficient accountability
The well-being of all effected parts (employees, shareholders,..)
- Rights
- Interests
- Wishes
Why the rights on the top?
- Because if your rights are taking away then fundamental things are been taking away from you and its
more wrong then when your wishes are taken away from you.
Case 2:
Mark and his wife Rebecca are sitting in their house. Suddenly a man with a gun bursts into their home.
The gunman is Dan, an ex-boyfriend of Rebecca’s. The gunman demands that unless Mark kills Rebecca,
Mark will be killed. If Mark kills Rebecca, Mark will leave unharmed.
1. Should Mark die rather than kill another person?
2. Should Mark save himself by killing another?
Case 3:
,I am the manager of a company that focuses on sustainable tourism; we offer tours in both South America an
d Asia.The company promises fair trade travel and adventure for our clients.We have a good relationship with
a certain hotel in Indonesia, as it shares the standards of an ethical way of working.
Recently, we found out that this certain hotel
deals with child labor.The children wash the laundry in the basement of the hotel. This fact was kept secret fro
m all partners of the hotel. The mentioned hotel
is one of our biggest partners, as we have been working with them for decennia.It is also the only ‘ethical resp
onsible’ hotel of the region.
It’s an ethical problem, why?
- There is a conflict between rights, interests, and wishes.
Who are the effected parties in this case? Who are the stakeholders?
- Customers
- Shareholders
- Children
- Yourself
The rights of the children are in danger education

Case 4: Should she go or should she stay?

has never been to Europe and wants to visit all the best cities and unique places. On her list is Venice, a
beautiful city, but one that is literally drowning by "over-tourism". Because of her studies, she knows going to
Venice, would mean contributing to the decay of the city. However, it is a unique city, and she considers it
worth a visit. Isabela does not want to be inconsiderate to this and is doubting whether or not she should go
to Venice.
Why is this an ethical problem?
- Venice is suffering from over-tourism
Who has the most problems with the over-tourism?

What could be an Interest, wish of right for her to go?

degree

What is the value in this class? respect for each other, respect for the teacher
Norm in this class being quite because you need to learn this lecture to get a degree

women in Iran expected to be dressed like this?
- Values and norm? religion, when they don’t dress like that, they would not follow the rules in their
religion, and they may get killed.
