Whistleblowing
Your text discusses whistleblowing by offering examples from people who paid with their life to those who were rewarded handsomely for whistleblowing.
In this discussion, choose one of the following three scenarios:
1.A real life example of whistleblowing with which you are personally familiar.
2.A case of whistleblowing you know about from a text or other source.
3.A hypothetical example of something to which we can all relate. For example, catching another learner cheating.
Once you have selected your scenario:
•Explain whether you did, or would, feel pressure not to report what you know. Explain why this is so.
•Explain what ultimately you did, what was done, or what you would do in the example you choose.
•Describe whether codes of ethics, like those in schools or the military that require reporting of unethical behavior, would influence your decision.
In preparation for this discussion, you may want to review Case 3 on pages 91–96 of your text, concerning the Ford Pinto.
