University of Phoenix Western and Eastern Ethics Paper

Within the Discussion Board area, write 200–300 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Thinking historically, one of the fundamental problems is the notion that man is separate from nature and that nature was put here for man. This places man in a position of control and superiority. Another problem is the notion that there is a divine plan for humanity and, thus, it could not possibly include man’s destruction of the very planet that enables his or her survival. Of course, these 2,000-year-old ideas emerged at a time when there was no understanding of science, the cosmos, ozone layers, and so forth.

Focus your discussion on the following:

How do these historical perspectives influence the concept of Our Multiple Ethical Selves?
What levers do managers have to help influence the multiple ethical considerations within the context of the organization?
How does the manager perform as a “Lens” to filter ethical problems and issues?

Using Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) from Bloom’s Taxonomy, respond to the prompts. Be sure to demonstrate a mastery of the course content through the use of analysis, synthesis, and the application of ideas.
