Write an essay discussing  “Real Life Teachings That Should Be Implemented into Schools as Basic Requirements”

Discuss how the corporation that you selected can benefit from responding to this concern – or, if it can’t benefit, why this is acceptable. Discuss how (a) society and/or (b) the environment can benefit from the corporation responding to this concern.

Signature – Work Papers “Sustainability Concern”

For this paper, you need to select a sustainability concern that is important to you and prepare a 5 – 10 page (single-spaced, 11 font, standard margins) paper related to this. (You can Google “sustainability issues” and find sites/reports that list hundreds of issues!) The paper must include section headers (take these from 1 to 7 below; e.g., “Atlantic King Crab: A Sustainability Concern…” for Section 1; “The Importance of This Concern” for Section 2; “Bob’s Tuna Vessel: Tacking the Challenge” for Section 3, etc.). The paper must include references to material from this course and non-course material (i.e., material that you find on your own). A reference list is not required; however, in-text citations (author
name(s), date) are required (see earlier in the syllabus for a discussion on in-text citations). In all, you can think of this paper as just a series of short responses to 1 – 7 below.

Here is the structure for the paper:

1: Select and describe a sustainability concern (that is, what is?) For example: emissions causes by commercial vehicles

2: Reflect on your experience here at QU (e.g., in your prior classes) and elsewhere and describe why the concern you selected is (or should be) important to (a) you, (b) society, and (c) corporations from a moral (e.g., you can reference a moral theory), social, and/or economic perspective (select at least two of these). For example: emissions/pollution is a concern for A, B, and/or C…for reasons X, Y, and/or Z

3: Select and briefly describe a corporation that you believe can (and should address) this concern; this can be, but need not be, a corporation that you work for. For example: if you work for a company that transports products, perhaps there is an opportunity to improve the efficiency of this transportation process – different routes, different travel times, different vehicles, etc. But again, it doesn’t have to be a corporation you work for…

4: Discuss how the corporation that you selected can benefit from responding to this concern – or, if it can’t benefit, why this is acceptable (given that corporations need profits to compete and survive in the long-term). For example: direct energy savings that result from increased fuel efficiency in the transportation process…

5: Discuss how (a) society and/or (b) the environment can benefit from the corporation responding to this concern. For example: reduced emissions/pollution can benefit…

6: Identify and describe the stakeholders that the corporation that you selected will need to consider and engage in developing a strategy to respond to this concern. Why are these important? For example: drivers, customers, etc…these people are important for reasons X and Y

7: Propose a concise strategic plan (you can use tables, lists, bullets, etc.) to address this concern in the corporation that you selected; in this plan, take the role of a sustainability consultant and offer a recommendation for how executives in the corporation should, e.g., “champion” sustainable development in the corporation, lead the transformation, and connect the sustainability strategy to the broader strategy of the corporation.

See the figure on p. 3 of the Kotter paper (that discusses “leading change” file is attached) in Module 7 for clear insights into the steps that you could consider in this process. In fact, the easiest way to complete this part of the paper is to just list the eight steps and then describe what you recommend for each of these

Discussion response one

Read statement below. Respond to your peer who chose a different example than your own and expand on the discussion by suggesting how global research could have been improved through the application of ethical best practices.

One of the most unethical research projects known was the Nazi Medical Experiments. In the early to mid-1940’s doctors and their assistants forced participation into experiments that were not only evil but fatal at times. Some of the participants from Nazi concentration camps included Jews, Soviet prisoners of war, and Catholic priest, women and children were not spared. There were many experiments done and results were used to benefit German soldiers. Bone, muscle and nerve transplant, intentional poisoning and freezing experiments were just a few of the horrible test participants endured “Nazi experiments conducted on concentration camp inmates continue to serve as extreme examples of cruelty” (Carrothers , 2020, p.31). These experiments were done without anesthesia and if the participants did not die, they were often left disfigured or permanently disabled.

Because the participants were not willing, there was no informed consent. They were unaware of the purpose of the experiments or what they entailed. The Belmont Report was developed to support ethical research, it consist of three principles: beneficence, respect human dignity, and justice. These principles state there is a duty of the researchers to minimize harm to the participants, the research should be beneficial to the participants and others, and the participants have a right to full disclosure as well as the right to fair treatment (Polit & Beck, 2021. p. 62)

Code of ethics have been created due to corrupt and unprofessional research practices. People in vulnerable groups are at greater risk of being taken advantage of and need to be protected. In response to the Nazi Medical Experiments, the Nuremberg Code was created, it states “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential, the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force” (Christianto, 2020, p. 2). The Declaration of Helsinki was also created to protect research participants from inhumane treatment with such principles as making the participant priority and keeping them safe. With this declaration, participation is voluntary and the benefits outweigh risks. These codes and declarations keep research ethical, and participants are protected from deliberate harm and results help the participants and/or others.
