Case Study of Ethics

The starting of the debate was quite in a disorderly manner. The For Team seemed like they weren’t able to understand what the Against Team were arguing about. Most arguments were not clear and do not make impact and sense. The debate started to became an insightful debate during the 4th speaker already and when the class could all raise questions. Both teams finally were arguing about the same thing. At first I always believed that everybody in class would be with the Against Team even the For Team (they were forced to make their stand in the For Team that’s why they have to argue for it) because it is really not enough to be ethical by simply following the law (I mean right?! It is not enough because we are humans and we have the what you called “HUMANITY” in us). I started to realize that there are people who are really for the For Team simply because they believe law is enough.

My stand in this debate is with the Against Team. It is not enough to just following the law. (1.) It is not enough because law keep adding up as time goes on because there are more things and other things that businesses have to take in consideration with. Some ethical rules are not part of the law may be because it is part of human nature to know that they should do; however, I believe if people become inhumane by only following the law to be ethical and omits the human nature actions then it is only a matter of time that those human nature actions will become laws itself. For example, the Vice President of Publication Department of the company that have been serving for 30 years of his life already suddenly appears to have Cancer 4th stage and dies; leaving his only grandson that is 5 years only on earth with no relatives. The company now takes care of the 5-year-old grandson and provides him a home, education and everything he needs. It is not in the law that the business has to do that but it is an ethical thing to do. It is basic humanity and it does not have to be in the law...
