- The morale among FEMA employees was as bad as the agency’s performance. Having grown from a complicated background, the agency struggled to cope with an uncertain mission. FEMA’s predecessors, including parts of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation during the Roosevelt administration and the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration during the 1960s and 1970s, had for decades worked to provide disaster relief. Then, during the Cold War, it became responsible for planning to help the nation recover in case of nuclear attack. The agency became FEMA in 1979, but its very different responsibilities never did fit neatly together. It had the tough job of acting like a local fire department--it needed to be ready to respond instantly to a wide range of disasters, wherever they might occur. But unlike most local fire departments, it found itself chronically underfinanced. It was an independent agency without a cabinet-department home. No one wanted to spend much money on the agency in…arrow_forwardHow would a stakeholder approach, if taken by the companys top leaders and board of directors, have possibly prevented the crisis?arrow_forwardThe power differential and why it matters so much? from the below statment answer the above question The power differential is the inherently greater power and influence that helping professionals have as compared to the people they help. Understanding both the value and the many impacts of the power differential is the core of ethical awareness. Written codes for ethical behavior are based on the strong positive and negative impacts of this power differential. People seeking help are in a position in which they must trust in the knowledge and guidance of their caregiver. This results in a greater-than-ordinary vulnerability. Consequently, people are unusually susceptible to harm and confusion through misuses (either under- or overuse) of power and influence. EXAMPLES OF POWER INEQUALITY “The impact of the role, control, and power difference between client and therapist is very strong and also very subtle, and thus demands a strong ethical stance. In brief, your role as the therapist…arrow_forward

With some direct face-to-face communication,the story would likely have ended quickly. It did not. “Not only did investigators impersonate board members,employees and journalists to obtain their phone records, but according to multiple reports, they also surveilled an HPdirector and a reporter for CNet Networks Inc. They sent monitoring spyware in an e-mail to that reporter byconcocting a phoney tip.
