Business Ethics Report Chernobyl or Hiroshima – 750 word min

Understanding the role of ethics in the workplace and decision-making is a key feature of an education.

In this assignment, students are required to choose from 1 of 2 major ethical cases. You should consider the general case and provide a discussion to the class through the prism of ethics. The class will want to know something like, “How would you approach this situation? What would you have done differently? What would you do now? How can this be avoided in the future? What lessons were learned?” You do not have to answer all these questions but rather focus on one or two (or make up your own!) Read the case and relate it to some sort of global business ethical issue (workplace safety, insurance, management issues, corporate greed).

P.S. Try not to use the first person. The paper should NOT be a rundown of the facts and what happened at these events. You can (and should) include statistics and maybe a brief summary at most to back up your argument, but the point of the paper is not a background of the history of the event.

Here are the cases:

1. Chernobyl – The Chernobyl Disaster. United Nationsl Development Programme.

2. Hiroshima/Nagasaki

While I have outlined a few readings, I encourage you to find additional sources for Chernobyle. Indeed, I would suggest 1-2 more sources.
