Volkswagen Ethics

The Automobile industry like many others prides itself in its quality manufacturing processes, adherence to compliance norms, innovation and customer satisfaction. However, over the last few decades the industry is plagued with myriad cases of ethical misdemeanors.

The car became notorious for accidents occasioned by rare-end collisions at a speed of over 30 miles per hour. The fuel tank would rupture and burst into flames leading to casualties and in some cases fatalities among the passengers (Tenbrunsel & Bazerman, 2011). It took so long for the decision ...

Oftentimes in life as a result of complex family situations or events, we experience anxiety and breakdowns. Events in the book The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger are powerful examples of this. The experiences in Holden Caulfield’s life lead to academic, social, and mental breakdowns from which he struggles to recover. The events and experiences that Holden goes through cover three days. After being expelled from school he chooses not to go back home to his parents but instead heads to New York to live independently. The challenges that 17 year old Holden faces reflect those ...

Urban growth and development can be attributed to all changes that engulf the particular urban setting (Jacobs 78). Moreover, the increase of an urban city should be planned for, lest social evils, as well as uncontrollable urban population and congestion, can ensue. Apparently, Toronto is an urban area that has grown rapidly over time, creating concerns about the future of urban planning, to cater for growing population, pollution, and urban traffic. Since the early 1970’s, Toronto has made the use of subways, buses and streetcars to ease congestion in the city, and also to provide an ambient environment ...
