Quirino Grandstand Ethical Analysis
I. Introduction

The Issue:
Lost in the aftermath of the investigation into what is now known as “Rizal Park hostage-taking incident” was the negative role of the Media played that added fuel to the shooting incident. Most of the major TV companies represented by their top news reporters, by communicating directly to the hostage-taker and by broadcasting the arrest of his brother, even though they know that a TV set was being used inside the bus, compromised and tied the hands of the negotiators to have the upper hand in the negotiation. The sight of his brother being arrested pushed the hostage-taker to start shooting the innocent victims. Although most of these Broadcast companies were found to be in violation of Section 4, Article 6 of the KBP Broadcast Code, which states “The coverage of crimes or crisis situations shall not provide vital information or offer comfort or support to the perpetrators”, with a fine of no more than P30,000.00, not one of them accepted direct responsibility and explicitly apologized for the said fiasco. KBP cannot even sanction one major TV Company since it was not a member.
The only positive output that came from this incident was the revision of Article 6 of the Broadcast code that added 9 more sections from the current 6 sections, that addresses the rules that are “vague and incomplete” like delaying the airing of the live footage, Media should assume the hostage-taker have access to all types of broadcast, the right to life takes precedence over the right to information, etc…

The Manila hostage crisis, officially known as the The Luneta Hostage-Taking Fiasco, occurred when a dismissed Philippine National Police officer took over a tourist bus in Rizal Park, Manila, Philippines on August 23, 2010. A disgruntled former Senior Inspector Rolando Mendoza of the Manila Police District (MPD), hijacked a tourist bus carrying 25 people (20 tourists and a tour guide from Hong Kong, and four Filipinos) in an attempt to get his

    This debacle started in JP Morgan’s Chief Investment Office (CIO), in the London branch of the firm. CIO’s are central to any major bank. Their purpose is to invest the difference between deposits the bank has on hand from its customers and the credit lent out to borrowers. This difference is called the bank’s reserves. With $1.1 billion in deposits and $750 billion on loan, JP Morgan’s CIO handled assets in excess of $350 billion.ii In theory, CIO’s are supposed to keep the reserves safe and to protect them against inflation. However, in reality, most CIOs will enter into more risky investments in order to earn higher returns. This is what the London Whale was doing. Still however, these investments should not be too risky and risk management and risk assessment controls are implemented to stop investments from being entered into when their risk exceeds the CIOs appetite.…

    Hi Senedra, my thoughts go out to the man who is in so much debt because he chose to try Provenge (Stein, 2010). It is an ethical dilemma many Americans face. Healthcare expenses have increased immensely, and medications play a large role. Many older people have hundreds of dollars each month in medication bills. A fixed income does not allow for that expense and individuals will make the monthly prescription last longer by taking the medication every other day or stop taking it. As a nation we need to bring medication costs down. If individuals would have affordable medication, they would take it regularly and potentially prevent an adverse event or chronic disease from occurring. There was a simulated study in China that looked at low cost…

    The responsibility of the media was to retell the story of this travesty to the rest of the world, but unfortunately they failed to do so by creating myths and other ideologies as to why the killers followed through with this annihilation. The police also added to some media myths by conducting a news conference prior to receiving credible and correct information. The media took advantage of sensitive issues in order to benefit themselves and grow their audience. They framed the story with controversial topics so they could garner polarizing opinions. The media wants to start conversations in households about why these boys committed this crime and, whatever excuse they provided, they hoped households would run with it. The media wants the public…

    Guillermina is a 12-year-old student who has recently been placed in an accelerated seventh-grade program. In this program, Guillermina feels intellectually challenged and can engage with content that challenges her, and this is a positive change from her previous material which was too elementary.

    An event does not have to involve loss of life or property to present communications challenges. A single piece of bad news reported by the press can have serious repercussions on a business. Whether or not the firm cooperates with the media, if they feel the story is newsworthy, it will be reported. The company’s responsibility is to ensure the information reported is accurate. Being uncooperative can damage a business’ reputation, standing in the community, and credibility with customers and employees.…

    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…

On her trip, she bought a discounted ticket which provided that she could bring someone with her so she brought with her adopted daughter.
