Algo Mall Collapse
Final Thoughts
The Algo mall collapse was an avoidable disaster based on the series of events that led to it and the number of years in which the circumstances leading to the deterioration of the building’s structural integrity was overlooked, ignored, deceptively hidden and left unaddressed.
The mall’s series of owners lied to dozens of people rather than take the initiative to resolve the leakage issue. Due to financial reasons and unethical judgements, the safety ownership became no one’s prerogative. It is clear that the actions resulting from negligence and incompetence of individuals could result in a disaster. It is hard to understand why none of the three owners of the mall fixed the leakage problem and why morals and ethics were forgotten

    According to DeGeorge, for whistle-blowing to be considered ethical there first must be a serious harm that the whistle-blowing aims to prevent, which is greater than the harm it causes the firm and stakeholders. In this case, the corrupt activities are very serious and would have posed a greater harm going undetected than the negative media attention and charges brought against the firm. DeGeorge’s second condition states that the whistle-blower is required to first attempt to prevent…

    Sadie Nussbaum, an eighteen-year-old Jewish girl who had lived in the United States of America her entire life along with 148 of her fellow workers, was killed in the fire in the Triangle Shirt Factory(Nussbaum death certificate). Ever since, historians and advocates have asked the question, “Who should be held responsible for their deaths?” After looking at many sources it seems that the owners of the building, Blanck and Harris, were ultimately responsible for the fire. This is because they failed to keep the building properly inspected, had terrible working conditions and over crowding, and only had one exit door.…

    Desperate Air

    • 666 Words

    What would I do if I was in George Nash’s position as Vice President of Real Estate at Desperate Air Corporation (a company in dire financial straits), and my pending sale of Florida property potentially had toxic waste buried beneath the surface. I found this to be the least challenging question posed thus far in terms of my own ethical beliefs. In this instance I would proceed with the sale without disclosing the information regarding what I had heard about the toxic waste. Clearly Florida law states that you do not have to disclose that there is a hazardous substance on commercial property as long as there is not a fraudulent statement about the property. Nash did his due diligence by hiring someone to do an environmental study. The company hired found nothing and a report was submitted to the buyers. Nash also consulted his attorney about what should be disclosed. Fledgling, the company purchasing the property, had the responsibility of performing their own due diligence. While a representative walked the property and found nothing, the article did not state whether or not Fledgling did a full environmental study as well. That should have been part of the purchaser’s process. If you purchase a home it is your responsibility to hire an impartial building inspector to look at your home and report on its condition. The Fledgling representative had the same responsibility to obtain an impartial environmental study. Had the representative done so, they probably would have discovered the toxic waste. It doesn’t matter that the DAC report did not include the disclosure. Unfortunately Fledglings representative was at fault here in my opinion. The fact that Nash prayed about the situation shows that he is not a cold hearted capitalist with only selfish motivations.…

    Mr. Nash Ethical Theory

    • 1018 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Nash is proud by his actions of closing the sale and not disclosing information about the property. In the “Action” phase of RDCAR, organization is supposed to recognize ethical achievements and negative unethical behaviors. Both Mr. Nash and CEO from the article “How to Make Tough Ethical Calls” made correct decision by business law but not ethically correct decision for the greater good. Mr. Nash might have asked himself some of the six questions that Michael Rion says in his book, The Responsible Manager: Practical Strategies for Ethical Decision Making also mentioned in the Seglin’s article: Why is this bothering me? Who else matters? Am I being true to myself? Mr. Nash knows that this wasn’t a correct decision since he was bothered by it and also consulted his wife and prayed. The questions also include “What do others think” which is also referred in Treveno/Nelson textbook what would readers of New York Times think. They wouldn’t agree with Mr. Nash’s decision in my opinion. As in the final phase of RDCAR, “Reflection” readers of New York Times would think that it seems as a lot of managers and CEOs would make a good decision for their company and employees which is based on short term profits, but rarely correct ethical decision while considering everyone else that might be influenced. This is why I would disclose the information about dangerous materials if I was in Mr. Nash’s situation. I couldn’t live with the fact that I was putting in…
