Study Notes
Chapter 1 - General
- Greed, omnipotence, cultural numbness, and justified neglect are reasons why people choose not to be good.
- Rationalization techniques, such as denying responsibility, injury, or the victim, help people justify unethical behavior.
- Denial of responsibility ("My arm is being twisted")
- Denial of injury ("No one was really harmed")
- Denial of the victim ("They deserved it")
- These techniques are frequently used in situations involving intense pressure from top management to meet numeric targets.
Rationalization Techniques
- Techniques involve convincing oneself of unethical behavior's lack of harm or the undeserving nature of the victim.
- Justifying participation in corrupt acts due to circumstances
- "Everyone does it" mindset
- Viewing actions as morally acceptable
- Often adopted when under intense pressure
- Justifying participation in corrupt acts due to circumstances
- Social weighing: Claiming "You have no right to criticize us" can occur in two ways: Condemning the condemners and selective social comparisons.
- Appeal to higher loyalties: "I would not report it because of my loyalty to my boss."
- Balancing the ledger: "We have earned the right."
- Incrementalism: "It is such a small thing, no big deal."
- Compromise: “Let me compromise my morals to keep business coming”
Socialization Processes
- Corruption sustains if newcomers start exhibiting the same behaviors.
- Cooptation: rewards induce attitude change that encourages unethical behavior.
The Internal Pillars of Our Moral Foundation
- Care/harm: Responding to signs of suffering and need.
- Fairness/cheating: Reaping cooperation rewards without exploitation.
- Loyalty/betrayal: Forming and maintaining coalitions with others.
- Authority/subversion: Forging relationships within social hierarchies.
- Sanctity/degradation: Avoiding bodily and spiritual contamination.
Reading Notes (Article 1)
- Ethical traditions reflect ways to think about how to live ethically.
- Utilitarianism (consequentialism): Maximizing overall good (e.g., child labor is beneficial if it benefits the majority).
- Ethical decisions depend on the outcomes of actions
- Criticisms: Difficulty measuring overall good, end doesn't always justify the means, doesn't account for the minority.
- Principle-based frameworks/deontology (duty-based): Fundamental rights and duties are guiding principles- no matter the consequences (e.g., violating rights of children).
- Focuses on ethical duties and principles
- Criticisms: Disagreement about principles, potential conflicts between principles.
Reading Notes (Article 2)
- Rationalizing corruption: People view their crimes as non-criminal.
- Denial of responsibility (circumstances, pressure)
- Denial of injury (low damage, not impacting anyone)
- Denial of victim (deserving of the harm)
- Social weighting (condemning the condemners, comparisons)
