Examples Of Ethical Judgement From Drug Lords

326 Words2 Pages

People can protect and not change their own ethical judgment under authority by standing for what they believe in. Not letting authority undermine what you believe they believe in and knowing what is ethical. Unfortunately, most people are afraid to do so because of what could happen to them. I have seen documentaries done about drug lords and how they ran their business. At one point in Mexico, the war between drug lords was so intense that they needed more people to fight for them. An example was given where a kid had to kill someone or be killed the hard way. He had no other option but the kill the person so he wouldn’t suffer. At first, these people follow their authority because of the fear they have but then it becomes normal for them.

Overall, throughout “The Crucible” by Arthur Miller, “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, “The Milgram Experiment” by Stanley Milgram, “The Ethnic Theory of Plane Crashes” by Malcolm Gladwell, and “Zimbardo - Stanford Prison Experiment” by Saul McLeod, all exploit and explain the dangers of blind obedience.

    In 1989, officials in Miami-Dade County, Florida established the nation’s first drug court. This special court was designed to bring drug treatment more fully into the criminal justice system, treating offenders with a history of drug abuse for their addiction, while simultaneously ensuring supervision, and sanctions when needed, from the courts. The movement for an alternative court to sentence drug offenders emerged from the rapidly evolving reality that the nation’s decision to address drug abuse through law enforcement mechanisms would continue to pose significant challenges for the criminal court system. In 2004, 53% of persons in state prison were identified with a drug dependence or abuse problem, but only 15% were receiving professional

    Milgram himself concluded how easily ordinary people ‘can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority". (Milgram 1974) As this report has highlighted the research is not without controversy with many questioning to what extent Milgram’s experiment is true to real life and has been criticized for not highlighting further situational variables in determining obedience to authority. Regardless of this, there is no doubt Milgram highlighted a rather troubling phenomenon.

    When it comes to the different kinds of authority, having to use force or suggestion to follow an order is considered irrational authority while acting in the name of reason is known as rational authority. In the film A Few Good Men, Dawson and Downey blindly follow commands not only because it was their duty to, but due to the mind set they were trained in and the three social processes that created conditions in which moral thoughts against violence become weakened. By following an order from their superior, Dawson and Downey received punishment due to it being an unethical order, and Kelman and Hamilton effectively explain how their situation involves authorization. For authorization to exist, the subordinates are required to obey in the terms of their role obligations instead of their personal preferences (K & H 139).

In a summary written in the article “The Perils of Obedience” (Milgram 1974), states: “The legal aspects of obedience are of enormous import, but they say very little about how most people behave in concrete situations.”
