The Office- Business Ethics
In class we discussed business ethics after watching an episode of The Office. We could identify the things that they saw as ethical problems to be just issues in the workplace called ethical dilemmas. These problems weren't necessarily ethical issues. As we watched we began seeing these normal issues being overshadowed by actual ethical issues in the workplace. When Dwight says he never steals time therefore he is implying he is an ethical man. He engages in sleeping with an engaged woman which is very unethical. When dealing with an "unethical" situation it is best to know exactly what you're dealing with.

I totally agree with your blog, especially with the end of it. I think it is interesting how one of the characters said he doesn't steal time and therefore he is ethical, but he sleeps with an engage women at the same time. That is funny to me because he claims to be doing what a perfectly person would do in work while being productive, yet he is being morally wrong in his personal life. I agree that a person should realize what he/she are dealing with in a situation.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jacob' point of view. I believe office ethics are up to one's self to decide. If you are in control of yourself and you normally have good morals out of the work space, I believe you should carry the same morals into the work space.
