This chapter in Ethics Applied was informative and interesting. It was cool to know when to draw the line between how/when services are rendered and who is liable, the customer or the manufacturer. I enjoyed looking at the various cases within the chapter as well. I must say I applaud Tylenol for stepping up and taking action, even though it really wasn’t their fault. When a company immediately takes action when a claim is made against them, it looks like they are working hard to keep their good name, as well as their reputation. In this case, although “the tainted bottles had such diverse origins, and the cases so closely spaced geographically, that the contamination had clearly taken place in the retail stores themselves” (Manias, Monroe, & Till, 2013, Chapter 20), it was good that Tylenol took responsibility and make sure to rectify things. However, I did not know that it was Tylenol who had first used tamper resistant packaging on medications. That surely is one precaution for a company to take in situations like this.

2. Chapter five of Business Ethics weighed heavily about the environmental responsibilities that corporations have to consider when they operate. The chapter covers all of the environmental concerns from polluted drinking water to depleting the ozone. Many corporations operate factories, vehicles, and equipment that expel chemicals and toxins that can be harmful to the environment. Some corporations operate excessive equipment with fossil fuels and do so at a much cheaper expense then using more environmentally friendly alternatives. For many prorogations the only way to keep them considering the environment is by regulating them and penalizing a corporation in violations of environmentally conscious laws. Velasquez (2012) stated, “Recognition of the fact that we are only an interdependent part of a larger ecological system, some writers have argued, should lead us to recognize that we have a moral duty to protect the interests not only of human beings, but also of other nonhuman parts of this system” (p. 268). Corporations have an ethical responsibility to the ecosystem just like each and every one of us. It ultimately relates to corporate social responsibility at it’s most obvious form.

when it comes to buying any product today i would have to say the first thing people want from the product is reliability.  in this fast pace world to know that when you buy a product and it works (like the consumer is led to expect it will function) give people a small piece of mind, allowing them to focus on something else. people today don’t have time to worry if something might not work, most manufacturers understand this concept because this add to the product quality, will increase sales and might lead to a consumer following that product for life (and free advertising). case in point, in Nov of 2015 i bought a Kia Sirento, i did all the research i could and based on my findings i felt it was the best car to buy (based on fuel, safety, price) for my wife and future family.  well just 3 weeks ago my wife totaled the car, a person cut her off causing her to steer right and hitting a car from behide.  she walked away with only minor cuts and bruised arms (from the air bags). the main safety features on this car are what saved my wife and the children in the car she hit. A Kia, Sirento has a 5 star safety in all the key areas (except rollover, can never have a 5 star on a SUV). I know that i can rely on this manufactures words, safe testing and reliability, so i bought another Kia Sirento and i just helped advertise it.

Need assistance with this?
