For this task, you will respond to an ethical situation as well as analyze the results of the Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI), which should be completed in the course. This task focuses on you as a leader by helping you to define, refine, and test your ethical boundaries through self-reflection and analysis.
SCENARIO
You are a sales representative for a medical device company that manufactures artificial joints. Your company has developed an artificial knee joint that is less expensive than the competition and will dramatically reduce healing time for patients. However, it is also known to produce a serious and potentially lethal infection in a small percentage of patients. The company refuses to disclose this potential side effect. You feel you have a duty to divulge this issue, but you signed a nondisclosure agreement when you were hired and worry about possible repercussions.
Write an essay (suggested length of at least 5 pages)
in which you do the following:
A. Select a nonfictional leader who you feel has exhibited exemplary ethical conduct and do the following: Tyler Perry
1. Discuss two ethical traits your chosen leader has demonstrated. Compassion and Integrity
2. Explain how your chosen leader
has exhibited ethical conduct.
Note: The chosen leader can be someone you know personally or
someone famous.
B. Compare the deontological and
consequentialist perspectives and how each perspective
would approach the dilemma from the scenario.
C. Identify and explain which level of cognitive moral development (i.e., preconventional, conventional, or postconventional) is represented in the scenario for each of the following questions:
• Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
• If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
• Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
• What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
• If I keep quiet, will I get some
sort of reward?

1. Explain your preferred ethical lens, relevant to the ELI.

values and one classical
virtue from the ELI.

part D2 with one of
your own self-identified or personal values. Then compare your classical virtue
from part D2 with a different self-identified or personal value.

your ELI could be applied to an ethical situation in the workplace.
