Behavior of an Organization

Whistle Blowers: Saints or Sinners

Introduction:

Whistle blowers are individuals who prevent the wrongdoing or illegal activities from an organization. Douglas Duran a former of sales at TAP Pharmaceutical Products files the petition to high Court to reveal the wrongdoing of his company. He is considered to be a Whistle Blower. In this case, he is a saint or a sinner?

1/ - David Stetler a defense attorney believe that Whistle Blowing means to extort large financial gains from companies.

* Douglas Duran is a saint or guiltless person because:

* He just makes the decision based on his intuition and perception that the kickbacks for doctors are immoral.

* He is innocent from unethical practices from extorting financial gains from TAP.

      The reason was for his innocence is there were 500 boxes of evidence and the case settled. In addition, it cost TAP over 1 billion dollars of legal fees to clear them of all wrongdoing. David Stetler's, job as a defense attorney is to defend whether the defendant is right or wrong.

      In this case, it clearly shows by its lesson that "whistle blowing" is good for an organization and those who are unethical to "whistle blow" to extort money are most likely behaving with the same attitude as organizations who commit unethical practices or crime.  

2. How might self-fulfilling prophecy affect a whistle-blower’s search for incriminating evidence against a company? 

      In the book Miracles it states, "That the Universal Law is impartial and unemotional. It has no way of knowing what you want, or does it discriminate between your hopes and aspirations, likes and dislikes - it is pure energy. It accepts whatever thoughts, feelings, and actions you project and reflects them back to you unemotionally in the form of events that you experience day to day" (Wilde, 1983) p.2.

      To make a long definition short, a self-fulfilling prophecy is simply an idea someone gets into his or her head and subconsciously...
