management ethics While most managers are not dishonest, a majority think that management judgments cannot be ethnically neutral and moral management is, therefore, not tenable in the present corporate world. It is for this reason that both immoral and amoral management is a continuous bane of the administration profession since it poses as a pragmatic or innocent philosophy. Both forms of administration do not factor moral judgments into the actions, decisions, and behaviors of managers because of the belief that either management motives should only focus on organization’s gains or business activity exists outside the realm to which ethical considerations apply (Carroll, Brown, & Buchholtz, 2017). Contrary to these views, management should, in addition to remaining positive and productive, conform to the highest principles of moral behavior or professional ethics of conduct and treat all stakeholders justly and fairly. Central to this discussion, this paper will analyze the management ethics, both established formal policy and unwritten codes, of Saudi Aramco. Saudi Aramco is a Saudi Arabian national petroleum and natural gas company represented in the three primary world energy markets of…
Response Paper about Films Movies comprise the most sophisticated and influential art forms, which help viewers, comprehend their lives and those of others around them. From horror dramas to action thrillers, films demonstrate the thoughts of individuals concerning various activities in their lifetime. For example, Julia Kristeva, in his work entitled Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection, examines the theory of abjection by highlighting different scenarios where individuals tolerate emotions arising from various situations.

The world is comprised of diverse cultures whose practices and beliefs vary as time goes. Medical practitioners are not limited to whom to serve; therefore, understanding the different civilizations will impel their services towards clients. Discussion The backgrounds of clients cannot undoubtedly be similar. A client of another culture holds a different perspective on various issues of life that vary from that of a medical professional (Hemberg&Vilander, 2017). In such a case, physicians need to develop means of serving such people lest hurting them instead of making them feel less valued.
