23 Dec Please find an article or news story about some whistleblowing situation

Please find an article or news story about some whistleblowing situation. Please do not use high-profile cases like Snowden or Manning. If you can find the same story described by different sources, that would be all the better. Do not use some personal experience unless it was discussed in credible new sources. I need to be able to verify the account.

Then, using the attached worksheet, discuss the case. After discussing the case in a concise paragraph, you will identify at least four key stakeholders and how you feel they were impacted. For example, if someone released company records and emails to blow the whistle, discuss whose emails and how the information led to actions against them. It is also possible a stakeholder was positively impacted by receiving a reward or gaining positive recognition.

Discuss the final outcome (see directions), and most importantly, use your moral compass to describe or explain why you feel someone’s actions were morally wrong. Again, if there was no wrongdoing, why was the whistle blown? You are not to guess the person’s motivation. You are only concerned with justifying your position on the action’s rightness or wrongness.

Finally, imagine you are in a leadership position. What could you reasonably do to keep the situation from happening again and prevents someone from feeling the need to blow the whistle? You may feel the real wrongdoer is the whistleblower, depending on the situation. If so, then describe why what the company/government did or is doing is justified, again using your moral theories.

This case study will be evaluated using the attached grading table. Please use this to your advantage to check your work before submitting it. Be sure to apply at least one (1) ethical system in depth, including the application of at least three (3) specific aspects of that system to the analysis of all parts of the worksheet/case study.
