    The document discusses several ethical issues related to the workplace and higher education. In the workplace, people may stay in harsh environments due to fear of losing their jobs, lack of information about their rights, poverty, cultural acceptance of poor conditions, high pay, and lack of alternative jobs. Addressing unethical behavior is difficult due to corruption, failures in the legal system, fears of retaliation, and poverty. In higher education, common ethical issues include exam cheating, selling subpar products to other students, corruption through bribery, improper relationships between lecturers and students, theft, and unsafe nighttime activities.

    BUSINESS ETHICS AND IT

    1. Why do you think people stay in harsh work environment? (10mks)


    i. Fear of losing jobs.
    ii. Lack of enough information on what they are supposed to do.
    iii. Poverty forces people to work on a harsh environment so they put food in their tables
    iv. Culture where people think that things have been done that way all along and its normal
    to work in such environment
    v. Some jobs pay some good salaries hence one cannot quit the job
    vi. Lack enough job opportunities.
    Why do you think work place unethical behavior has been difficult to address? Give practical
    examples.
     Corruption such that even when there are some cases reported, the bosses always bribe
    out. For example, when a boss bribes the police to drop a case raised against him.
     Failure of the legal system where there is back of the cases meaning it can even take like
    5 – 10 years before the case is handled.
     People fear getting fired hence they don’t report such cases. Eg. When a person is
    sexually harassed by the boss he/she may fail to report in fear of losing his job.
     Poverty for example, because of poverty one may steal some money from his boss to
    cater for his family.

    2. During an interview for a highly desirable job, a recruiter turns his or her laptop
    computer toward you and asks you to log into your social media sites. What would
    you do?
    Discuss the implication of this to your chance of getting the job. (10mks)
    I will not log in Why? Because people need some privacy and also there is no way
    personal social media accounts can be related to a certain job.

    i. You may fail to get the job because the person wants to judge you according to your
    social media accounts.
    ii. They also want to judge your according to your conversations on social media which
    they may get it wrong hence you fail to get the job.
    iii. They may also get it wrong because people live a different life on social media where
    they may not employ you.
    iv. If you fail to log in they may fail to give you the because they may think its some sort of
    disobedience.
    v. Its not easy to know if the person has the required skills through looking at their social
    media accounts.
    vi. man
