Do you think business benefits from ethics and professionalism? Justify your answer with at least 3 case studies. You can refer to a case study online or create your own case study

Businesses do benefit from ethics and professionalism. If a business keeps up good ethical behaviour they gain higher revenue from customer’s positive feedback, for example Toyota had ignored health and safety warnings for a line of cars they took out in 2009 and thus after many deaths and injuries lost customer support.

Philip Morris, a cigarette company was caught advertising to children and thus due to their unethical ways lost brand recognition and support from customers, they have been blamed for the high rate of young smokers as they try to keep the image of smokers being cool.

A Walmart employee was involved in a crash in 2000 that caused her brain damage and left her confined in a wheel chair, Walmart sued her family for medical bills which resulted them in losing motivation from employees and less people were being recruited as they did not want to work there.

1. How do employers benefit from professional standards? What would happen if there are no professional standards in an organisation? Give at least 5 examples.

Employers would benefit as work quality would increase from employees. However if professional standards were lost, work quality would decrease. Staff moral would also decrease within a company. The companies image would deteriorate and thus public relations would fall. As well as this, people may be less likely to apply for jobs and staff turnover may also rise.

Do cyber security professionals face ethical dilemmas? Can you describe a scenario relating to this?

If a cyber security professional was asked to do work that breached laws or agreements for a higher sum of money this could be a dilemma, or if a cyber security professional came across illegal data they were not meant to see they have the choice of reporting it and getting themselves in trouble or leaving it and not acknowledging it.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
