459 Words2 Pages

“Ethics is the critical, structured examination of how individuals and institutions should behave when their actions affect others (Chris MacDonald)”. The scenario suggests that Brady, a prospective landlord is giving a bribe to Zarley. Zarley represents the bank and its values, therefore his actions should present the image of his company. Bribery is clearly an unethical and illegal act that was possessed by Brady. Zarley made the right decision by returning the money and iPads to Brady. This was a very difficult choice for Zarley because he really needed that money. Perhaps, it would have been harder for them to get caught because they were ‘gifts’ for his family and there was no one there with them who would have seen this. However, Zarley’s …show more content…

In addition to the fact that Zarley would engage in illegal and unethical activity if he were to accept the bribe; he would also be held liable for the breach of contract. Although there are multiple ethical reasoning’s that can be used, the most suitable reason would be rights and duties. Every prospective landlord has the right to be chosen based on their land as well as the offers they are giving to the bank, instead of the ‘gifts’ they will be providing for Zarley. Zarley is the procurement manager which imposes responsibility on him due to his role as a manager. It is his duty to act ethically and legally when making such decisions. His choices will have a direct impact on the bank. “Wherever an employment relationship exists, both employers and employees have rights and obligations (minkemployment)”, which are detailed in employment contracts.

Is BE bound by the terms of the project labor agreement, which it did not directly sign, including the duty to submit this labor dispute to final and binding arbitration for resolution? I believe that Bolton Engineering (BE) should not always be bound to the terms of the project labor agreement, that they did not directly sign.

  • General Zarroff Character Analysis Essay

    488 Words  | 2 Pages

    First off, Connell first introduces Zarroff to us by portraying him as the “Master of the House”, and seemingly develops this dignified aura around General Zarroff. When he does this we can see that Zarroff seems to have his servant Ivan’s total obedience. Ivan is on the verge of shooting Rainsford, but as soon as Zarroff gives a gesture for Ivan to back away Ivan immediately responds by removing himself from the situation. Consequently we can see that while Zarroff is clearly in charge, he seems to avoid putting himself in potentially powerless situations. This is exemplified when Rainsford sets up the trap that wounds Zarroff, Zarroff immediately retreats to avoid an still advantageous position.
