Sample 1
The Mayor of a large city was given a free membership in an exclusive golf club by people who have received several city contracts. He also accepted gifts from organizations that have not done business with the City but might in the future. The gifts ranged from $200 tickets to profession sports events to designed watches and jewelry.
The consequences in this scenario with the free membership, gifts being accepted, watches and more are materialistic bribes that are proposed as “you are excepting this gift in order to scratch my back later” it’s a simple bribe in order to have favors called in or be in good graces for certain situations, (donations, permits, favors, etc.) These consequences can be minor but mostly hardly ever are just minor. You see this in the news all the time with taking bribes from big corporate companies to support their causes.
In this case the contracts that have already been awarded and the ones who are looking to receive contracts in the future could cause conflicts and begin a very troublesome partnership. It’s like having going with one contractor for many many years and all of a sudden you also start working with a new contractor in the same field; it’s not going to settle with the original contractor.
Far as representing the greater good and who benefits from it is really going to be the mayor who is accepting the gifts. The city will be improving still regaurdless of who gets the bid or contracts. I do not see the decisions to accept the gifts to be ethically immoral but at the same time not morally either due to the fact that they are minor gifts and not large sums of money but still accepting the bribe is not ethically right.
