Students will be able to understand what whistle-blowing is and when employees are justified in blowing the whistle. Research a company where illegal actions (within the last 5 years) caused an employee to whistle blow publicly. What was the situation and who was being harmed? Was the whistle blowing morally justified using the four points of moral justification on page 345? What was the end result of the information going public? The organization is doing (or will do) something that seriously harms others. The employee has tried and failed to resolve the problem internally. Reporting the problem publicly will probably stop or prevent the harm. The harm is serious enough to justify the probable costs of disclosure to the whistle-blower and others.48 Only after each of these conditions has been met should the whistle-blower go public. Use 2 journal articles.
