Q1. Case: Asbestos fibers, when inhaled, cause serious lung diseases, including cancer. The health dangers from working with asbestos have been known to medical and industry officials since the late 1920s, but asbestos has been used for over about the risks they were undergoing. Since asbestos has been used for over a century as a flame retardant, an insulating material, and in many consumer products and buildings, millions of people have been exposed to possible health risks. Workers who mine it and those who shape it into finished products are especially at risk, since the tiny fibers permeate the working environment, cling to clothing, and are taken into the lungs. Even family members at home have been known to contract lung disorders from handling an asbestos worker's clothing. Medical experts estimate that 8,000 to 10,000 people will die from asbestos diseases each year until the turn of the century. Q.A Explain the distinction between law and ethics? In your judgment which constitutes the most fundamental principle of human behavior? Law or Ethics? Q.B Q.C In filing for bankruptcy even though it was still a profitable business, Manville acted legally. Do you believe that taking this legal step, Manville was acting ethically? Do you agree that business is amoral (nothing to do with morality)? 'Executives should do whatever it took to improve profitability'--- Using the Four rationalizations discussed in the class, indicate why Manville managers failed in their ethical and moral responsibilities?
