Opening Activity

Author Isaac Asimov once stated, “Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.” State in your own words what you think Asimov meant.


The statement means that no matter how much manners you have you should always say the truth, for an example if you see your friend cheating on a test you, you know it's wrong and you should tell but you can't because you know your friend will get in a trouble, so according to the statement it saying that no matter what you should still tell the truth.
People often rationalize their actions so that they twist their sense of morality to just do whatever they feel like doing, regardless of whether or not its right or wrong.

What do you do if

What do you do if: 

- Your friend asks you to add a few extra hours to a work time sheet for him, but you know that he did not put in the time.
I would talk to him about it and tell him that he made a mistake and that I'm sure that he didn't put in the time. If he refuses and still want to add up more hours I will have to go talk to principle or manager and tell him what i know.


 - A salesperson in an electronics store offers to sell you an iPod after hours at a discounted price.
If I didn't want it no matter how cheep it is and how much discount he gives me, i will tell him that i'm not interested, and that i might think about it or I have one already. If I needed one and the guy was selling it for good price then i'll get it.


 - You are aware that the teller gave you back too much money when completing a banking transaction.
I would go back to the teller and tell him that he made a mistake and it would be better if he recount the money, so when he count the money again he will find out that i was right and i would return the money  to him.

unethical and morally wrong product

What are some products that you think could be considered unethical and morally wrong? Select one of these products and explain why you believe this is the case.

I think Cigarette and Alcohol are both bad for people. Most of the lung and body diseases comes from cigar, cigar can kill people and very harm for babies, even if you don't like smoking and you don't smoke someone else might, in that case you are getting more damage because now you considered a second hand smoker.
Alcohol is even worse than cigar, alcohol makes people drank witch means they don't have control over their actions, alcohol causes people to die, diseases, accidents, harming other and way other more thinks that alcohol does.

Why do you think it's become so popular? What do you think of the statement?


I think it became popular because this girl is the first millionaire girl that actually not only care and feel bad or sorry about these homeless, with no freedoms people but do as what they do, protect their rights and protest wit them for their freedom.
I think the girl is brave enough to support her feelings and thinking, maybe if everyone did the same as her, there will be changes.
The girl is rich but the government is not taxing her enough, witch is not fair because the government taxes poor or average people more than rich people.

why would someone do this, and how does this relate to business class?

because they are affected financially, they have lost their jobs, have no right to do anything, so they got no other choice they had to protest and show their anger. In business class what ever happens to the world effect business and companies. Because these people are protesting against rick people who they think are eating their money, witch will affect businesses.
