Game Simulation
What were the ethical issues presented in the simulation?
The two scenarios had different ethical issues that presented themselves. The first scenario was about a contaminant that was found in a supplement that the company was using, and the second was about selling a defective product to buyers in another country. In the first ethical dilemma, the levels of contamination were lower than the FDA recommendation, but higher than the company standards. The task was to decide whether the company should recall the slightly tainted supplement or not. For the second dilemma, the issue was that the FDA had raised its standard and the marketing department was trying to get the inspector to sign off on selling the product in other countries where the standards were not as strict.
What decision-making steps did you take to ethically address these issues?
The steps were to follow the lenses and make sure that every step was accompanied by an ethical decision. It could be considered ethical to do nothing, on some level, but the integrity of the company would be compromised. Both dilemmas tested the knowledge of the company's core values and what should be done if the company believed that even one person could be harmed by the product. Detailing the different steps of the dilemma was crucial to understanding all that the problem entailed and determining...
Another primary issue was understanding who all of the stakeholders were and maintaining a personal responsibility to them.
What ethical perspectives, or lenses, did you use to make your decisions in the simulation?
The ethical lens that I used in the first case was rights/responsibilities. I focused on the rights of all the stakeholders and the responsibility that the company had to enforce those rights. This allowed me to consider the outcome of my decision. If I were not aware of the responsibility that the company has toward the consumers, the decision would have cost the company to lose money. The consumer has the right to be informed about the products that he or she consumes. This lens also allowed me to identify the impact my decision would have on the stakeholders. Had my decision caused major liability issues everyone would be affected from the consumers to the shareholders. The shareholders are the company's primary purpose. However, neglecting the consumer would greatly impact that purpose. The shareholder has the right to expect the company to act without malice and in a manner that will maximize profits. The CEO has the right to expect the company to maintain its reputation by adhering to the core values of the company. I have the right to not perform any task that violates my core values. Considering all the…

Ethics Game The simulation presents some of the ethical issues involved in selling a product overseas. Safety standards are one of the key issues that was raised in the simulation, in particular the question of how to deal in countries that have lower safety standards than our own. This ties into the broader issue of how we should apply our own ethical lens to foreign cultures and countries in general. To address
Quite to the point, television, film, pop music and video games share in common a proclivity to promote that which yields prosperity. Thus, there is little regard from the computer gaming industry for indications that "a meta-analytic review of the video-game research literature reveals that violent video games increase aggressive behavior in children and young adults."

Learning in adults is most effectual when the environment is both participative and interactive. Another important characteristic is that learners obtain instantaneous feedback. Teaching methods that necessitate a learner to think though data or information and come to a conclusion or forecast an outcome are more valuable than is reading or lecture.

Dopamine is a pleasure inducing chemical that is secreted whenever an individual engages his/her mind in the playing f video games.

Adult Education and the Internet Higher Education, the Internet, and the Adult Learner The concept of using the Internet in the pursuit of higher education is not exactly new. Indeed, the institution of "distance learning," has been in full swing since the heyday of late night Sally Struthers correspondence-school commercials. What has changed, however, is the increasing legitimacy and widespread use of the Internet in the pursuit of higher education -- from
