    Case Study: THE PERILS OF TEXTING

    1. Information rights and obligations.


    In this case people respect to themself by not using a cell phone when driving they car because talk on
    the phone at the wheel of car is so dangerous behavior. In here, government give a report as an
    information to the people to not use cell phone when they drive.

    Property rights and obligations.

    Traditional property rights at this time so difficult to be protected for Americans. Because numbers of
    selling cell phones almost grow up every year.

    Accountability and control.

    In this case, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) set out to determine the effects of
    using cell phones behind the whell. After accounting the number of accident and why it can be happen,
    NHTSA can give the information to the policies. The policies can control it.

    System quality.

    System quality also important for Americans. People may know about data, like how much people got
    an accident. So we can take care ourself because of that information. Obligation that government made,
    we should do it for a better safety of society in our life.

    Quality of life.

    Values that should be preserved in information is a right information that include knowledge. In this
    case, people should be know about the dangereous thing while use a cell phones behind the whell.
    Institutions that protect us is polices, between we must protect ourself. Quality of life grows up because
    everyone easier to communicate with other.
    2. What are the ethical, social, and political issues

    raised by this case?

    Ethical issues raised when almost American’s in 18-29 years using cell phone (texting) behind whell.
    Social issues are people communicate easier using a cell phone but if they texting behind the well it can
    make an accident and make a worst relationship in a social living. About political issues, it’s about the
    regulation from government that should be assertive.

    3. Which of the ethical principles described in the text

    are useful for decision making about texting while

    driving?

    Maybe they use Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperative. If an action is not right for everyone to take, it
    is not right for anyone. Ask yourself, “If everyone did

    this, could the organization, or society, survive?”

    MIS IN ACTION

    Many people at state and local levels are calling for a federal law against texting while driving. Use a
    search engine to explore what steps the federal government has taken to discourage texting while
    driving. The Department of Transportation is taking steps to address this national epidemic. The plan
    includes education, funding, technology and legal measures designed to discourage distracted driving.

    First an important step is teaching teenagers that texting while driving is dangerous. Second, the DOT is
    also providing funding to states to step up police enforcement of state-wide bans and launch public
    awareness campaigns. At least 39 states, including Massachusetts, have passed anti-texting laws or
    comprehensive bans on cellphone use while driving.

    Third the DOT is also calling for legislation to require automakers to include dashboard technologies that
    prevent distracted driving, while encouraging manufacturers to voluntarily install such technology.
    Further, the agency has pressed congress to pass a nationwide ban on cellphone use behind the wheel.
    Unfortunately, many drivers continue to use cell phones while sharing the road with other drivers,
    passengers and bystanders. Victims of distracted driving accidents may suffer from permanent disability
    and the loss of earning capacity for themselves and their families. If a distracted driver caused you
    injury, contact a personal injury attorney to discuss your legal rights.
