Example Of 4 Journals Report

I consider myself to be honest, strong-willed, and moral. I always try to live an ethical life by helping others whenever I can, like giving money to homeless who deserve it or donating to food drives. I think this is the best way to help people, on an individual basis, rather than through government handouts. My primary values are hard work, honesty, and being fair to others. I express these values by donating money worked hard for to charitable organizations, like the American Red Cross. I believe that we all have to interact in a way that is fair to others in business. I hope to be able to give more to the Red Cross in the future. One of my pet peeves is when people just expect the government to give them handouts without having to work for them. My goals for the future are to one day start my own business. I also hope to have a nice family one day. I am conservative, and consider my political views to be what I orient my life and ethics on.
- One problem facing the American Red Cross is the many imitators out there who pretend to be the Red Cross to get people to send their donations to them instead. These are usually scammers who keep the money themselves. The Red Cross has made extra effort to expose these people, and also made the public more aware of the issue so they could be more careful when donating. While this problem is really the fault of the scammers, the Red Cross is doing their part to combat them. The best solution is to find the perpetrators and prosecute them if possible. They have also been fined for not following proper safety procedures with blood collected. They have been working on better educating their workers on the proper blood donation and storage procedure. This is the fault of improper training and a rush to collect as much blood as possible, and is Red Cross’s responsibility. The best solution is better training.
- For-Profit company: Home Depot
Problems facing the Home Depot are roughly the same as those facing other big box retailers. Employees often claim they are not being paid a living wage or purposely not given full-time hours to prevent them from getting benefits. These are partially Home Depot’s fault, but are also the fault of the pressures of the retail industry, as their competitors also do this to keep their costs down. These problems impact the organization by lowering morale and motivation among employees. One possible solution to these problems would be to increase performance-based bonuses and rewards to encourage motivation and provide concrete benefits. Another might perhaps be a profit-sharing strategy which would give employees a direct stake in the success of the company. This may not be possible, however, given the publically traded nature of the company. To implement either solution, a larger proportion of revenue will have to be directed toward employees.
