Warren Buffet, a famous financier with an estimated personal fortune of 1.5 billion dollar, made the decision to give most of his will wealth to charity and only a few hundred thousand dollars to each of his three children. His decision was not based on animosity against his children but, his belief that inheriting a lot a money like that would be more unhealthy than helpful for his children. Warren Buffet is a smart and really poised financier and I am sure he didn’t take that decision without thinking about the consequences and without weighing the obligations he has with his children. Buffet decided that the obligation of justice toward charity in need of money was bigger than the obligation of beneficence for his own children. I am sure he would not leave his children in though money situation and I am sure that each of his children are really wealthy. He judged it was better to give his money to people that really needed it instead of giving it all to his children and make it easy for them.
After learning that the company is violating the state antipollution law and that the state inspectors are being bribed to ignore the violation, the executive takes no action. This is a good example of an executive that is not respecting his obligations of citizenship, employment obligations, or professional obligations. As an executive of a large company, you have to face your obligations concerning the company issue. Your company is violating the state antipollution law so as a citizen you should be concerned and you should want to fix the situation for the best of the citizens, the state, and your personal health. Also, it is an employment obligation to follow the laws and regulations so if you learn that your company is violating law, you have to take responsibility and ownership to manage the issue.
