Aviation Crisis: Ethical Implications
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The concept of a rational society – in which the entire community is greatly influenced by the principles to which its members adhere both individually and collectively – has indeed proven to be one of the most powerful standards of civilized culture. When something goes awry, deviating from how that member of society has been represented, it becomes critically important to evaluate all elements of an ethical and socially responsible level so as to mitigate the extent to which stakeholders are detrimentally impacted.

Banana Trade Wars
[ send me this paper ]
13 pages in length. Big business has long infiltrated the economically restricted world of independent merchants; once a product is deemed significant enough to warrant high profit for low investment, corporate heads begin to turn. Such is the case with the recent banana trade wars that have pitted large operations against small communities where banana production represents the sole method of survival. Clearly, at the crux of the banana trade wars resides the issue of money; however, the manner by which big corporations are virtually stripping certain societies of their only means of durability brings to light a much more important issue: ethics.

Bribery In International Business
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing incidence of bribery in the international business environment. What's the difference in all-out bribery and "grease payments," "commissions," "agent fees?" The short answer, and the one correct in the eyes of every international ethics board, is that there is none. Bribery is bribery, and until only recently, the US was the only nation that made bribery in international affairs illegal. Nearly every developed nation has stringent laws against bribery within their borders, but only a few had addressed the international issue before the mid-1990s. Official condemnation by the OECD in 1997 and increasing awareness that bribery even in small amounts robs developing nations of real economic advances are working to reduce bribery's benefits as an effective, though unethical, business tool.
