    In this case well no he didn’t do. 2) Next is concealment, this one he did do by compiling mass amounts of paperwork, and case files from not only the U.S. government, but other companies and governments as well. 3) The third is violation of trust, or abuse of power, and trust. This one is a little tricky because of the law that states on the theft, compiling and use of government documents. He had the power to view these documents and the trust from the government to see such thing so when he went out on a limb and published those in a webpage format then he violated this rule, or element. The other thing is that he is NOT a citizen of the U.S. therefore the first amendment right would not apply to him. Because of this; it is an American document, and doctrine. So implies the Espionage act which he falls under and has violated. So the final question in this topic is he a criminal, well yes he is because of the amount of data, and the amount of sensitive information that he and his team has exposed. White collar crime yes because he leaked in cyber form information that could cause harm, and damages to a nation, person, or group. The tricky part is the prosecution of this case because of the international retaliation act, and the whistleblowers law at here in the U.S. both of these can be seen as a a way to allow him to continue processing…

    The Protection of Children Act came into force in October 2000 and gives the Secretary of State the power to keep a list of people unsuitable to work with children and young people.

    Ethics Case Analysis

    Ethics Case Analysis

    This case presents a very typical situation that people encounter while working in the corporate environment. What is ethical, what is morally correct and what is just right out against the law are the questions that we all face while working in a corporate environment. Some of the ethical questions are governed by the law facing the situation. For example while working in an investment bank you most probably have access to inside information about upcoming deals that one could possibly use for personal monetary gain or you could act as a tippie and possibly share that confidential information with others. This kind of a situation is definilety governed by the law and you can actually be charged with various insider trading laws and possibly do some jail time as well. The other situation that is presented in the case is purely about ones ethical and moral standards. The analyst either has to compromise her loyalty towards her company B&B or towards her best friend Lori. While the situation presented is not a real zero-sum game, i.e., one player’s loss does not equal to the gain of the other player. When faced in a situation like this one has to think about what decisions can be made that will have the least affect on the players involved. The analyst should not look at the situation she faces as black or white. She should rather think about other options she might have to retain her friend’s loyalty while not compromising her loyalty towards her current employer. For example, Lori has already been laid off by her current employer, Universal group. The Universal group has already broken certain ethical and moral laws by not informing about the situation to B&B. So can the analyst come up with a situation where she can get Lori immediately and legally hired at B&B and convince her to share the information with B&B. In essence Lori will not have to feel guilty about not keeping the information confidential as has been laid off and the…
