Global Business Ethics. Pfizer, Inc., developed a new antibiotic called Trovan (trovafioxacinmesylate). Tests showed that inanima

ls Trovan had life-threatening side effects, including joint disease, abnormal cartilage growth, liver damage, and adegenerative bone condition. Several years later, an epidemic of bacterial meningitis swept across Nigeria. Pfizer sentthree US. physicians to test Trovan on children who were patients in Nigeria's Infectious Disease Hospital. Pfizer did notobtain the patients' consent, alert them to the risks, or tell them that Médecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders)was providing an effective conventional treatment at the same site. Eleven children died in the experiment, and otherswere left blind, deaf, paralyzed, or brain damaged. Rabi Abdullahi and other Nigerian children filed a suit in a US. federalcourt against Pfizer, alleging a violation of a customary international law norm prohibiting involuntary medicalexperimentation on humans.(a) One group should use the principles of ethical reasoning discussed in this chapter to develop three arguments thatPfizer’s conduct was a violation of ethical standards.(b) A second group should take a pro-Pfizer position and argue that the company did not violate any ethical standards (andcounter the first group).(c) A third group should come up with proposals for what Pfizer might have done differently to avert the consequences.

Answer:

1

The action of  Pfizer is no way near an ethical act and was a clear violation of the ethical standards.This is true because

  • As it is the company responsibility to act ethically to achieve the goals of the society by eradicating their problems and not by enhancing them hence the corporate social responsibility would not allow the company to behave inhumanly
  • The duty based ethics would also empower the corporation to care and respect humanity
  • Its is highly unethical on the part of Pfizer to conduct test on human life.if  we consider the six basic guidelines to make ethical decisions then they have done it in a highly unethical manner.The six basic guidelines would never allow any company to behave i such a manner so as to risk the human life  

Pfizer did not obey any of the above ethical standards and the conduct was clear violation of ethical standard.

2

Pfizer plc is not guilty of any ethical standard violation as it is a common practice for drug manufacturer to conduct tests on animals as well as human.And anyways the company conducted the tests on those human beings who will die with the epidermic which has already invaded the entire country of Nigeria.Hence in other to save/protect  a large number of human being the test on the few persons is ethical as it is done to protect the society at large

So we cannot say that the company had violated any ethical standard

3

In order for Pfizer to avert the consequences  of the violation then Pfizer should use the following five steps to create solution tom problem on ethical question these steps include

  • Inquiry : It is very crucial to make initial inquiry about the entire subject matter
  • Discussion: If there is a list of action generated after inquiry then discussion  on every single action should be made
  • Decision : It is highly crucial to take any decision with the consensus of all the participating candidates
  • Justification : Each decision made must have a justification for the entire process
  • Evaluation : it is highly crucial to evaluate the entire process

Answer:

As an ethnographer you should analyze your data as soon as you have  collected it.

Explanation:

If the ethnographer waits until the end of the project he or she will have a huge amount of data to process, which will make it impossible to make an appropriate analysis. What is more, cualitative analysis require notes from context and it is impossible to remember little details of events that happened years ago.

vichka [17]

I'll give answers first, then add explanations below.

1. Who was John Brown?

  • D. An abolitionist who took over the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, VA

2. What was the purpose of the Gettysburg Address?

  • A. remembrance of the soldiers who died on the battlefield in preservation of the Union

3. At this place General Lee surrendered his army of North Virginia?

  • B. Appomattox Court House

4. In which area did the North have an advantage over the South in the Civil War?

  • B. military leadership

5. Uncle Tom's Cabin was written by who?

  • D. Harriet Beecher Stowe

6. Which view best summarizes Lincoln's position on slavery in 1858?

  • D. Slavery should not spread because it is morally and politically wrong.

<em><u>Further explanation</u></em><em>:</em>

  1. John Brown (1800-1859) was an abolitionist who supported armed struggle against existing laws and government in order to end slavery.  In October 1859, Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.  The intent was to arm slaves to fight for their freedom and set in motion a slave revolt that would spread across other regions in the South.  The effort was unsuccessful and Brown was hanged for treason against Virginia.
  2. President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863.   in the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln affirmed the principle stated by the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal.  The massive number of casualties at the Battle of Gettysburg  gave impetus to Lincoln's words about preserving the Union and government of the people, by the people and for the people -- ideas which had been central to Lincoln's worldview before Gettysburg as well as in that speech.
  3. Lee's surrender to General Ulysses Grant of the Union occurred on April 9, 1865, near the town of Appomattox Court House, Virginia.  This was the effectively the end of the US Civil War.
  4. As pointed out by Daniel White in an article on <em>Owlcation </em>about advantages the South did have, one key was military leadership.  White writes:  "Many Southern political and military leaders were graduates of the military academy at West Point, as well as veterans of wars such as the Mexican-American War ... while the Union struggled for the first few years of the war to find strong leaders ."
  5. Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was hugely popular with abolitionists around the world.  The book was the 2nd-best selling book of the 19th century -- coming in behind only the Bible (the perennial bestseller).  
  6. As the History Channel reports, "Lincoln did believe that slavery was morally wrong, but there was one big problem: It was sanctioned by the highest law in the land, the Constitution."  So Lincoln wrestled with the issue of slavery as a moral wrong, and yet something that had Constitutional approval.
