Paper For Above instruction

My name is Alex Johnson, and I am currently enrolled in Grantham University pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. I am excited to be part of this course because I have a foundational understanding of basic ethical principles, but I recognize that there is much more to learn about the complexities of ethical systems and moral reasoning. My current knowledge level of the course topic is moderate; I am familiar with concepts such as consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics, but I look forward to deepening my understanding of how these theories are applied in real-world situations and decision-making processes.

Before the course concludes, I hope to gain a clearer understanding of how different ethical systems influence business practices and personal conduct. I am particularly interested in learning how to identify ethical dilemmas more effectively and develop a moral framework that can guide my decisions in both personal and professional contexts. Additionally, I want to explore the role of cultural differences in ethical reasoning and how global businesses navigate diverse moral perspectives.

Regarding the ethical systems, I recall a time when I observed a coworker engaging in dishonesty during a team project. The coworker manipulated data to make their contributions appear more significant, which compromised the integrity of our work. I confronted the coworker privately and expressed my concerns about their actions. I emphasized the importance of honesty and integrity and encouraged them to correct the inaccuracies. When they refused, I reported the incident to our supervisor to ensure that the issue was addressed appropriately. This situation exemplifies the application of deontological ethics, which emphasizes the importance of moral duties and adhering to moral principles regardless of the consequences. The coworker's unethical behavior violated the duty to be honest, which is a core principle in deontological reasoning. Handling the situation by addressing the unethical act directly and seeking oversight aligns with the deontological approach, prioritizing moral duties over personal discretion or consequential considerations.
