You are walking past a swimming pool, where you see someone drowning. You have no relationship to the pool, nor to the drowning person.

You are well trained in life-saving techniques and you also have a bamboo pole that you happened to be carrying that you could use to save the person without any risk to yourself. There is also a telephone at the pool that has instructions above it stating, “This phone can be used for free for any reason, including calling for help if someone is drowning.”

You do not jump in, extend the pole or call for help. Instead a video camera at the pool records you standing there, watching the person drown and doing nothing at all. Then you leave after they are dead.

Are you liable, civilly or criminally, for the death of the drowning victim? Why or why not?

Part 2 Assignment

Imagine you are the branch manager of a local bank in your community. Your assistant manager, Tom, has worked at the bank for over five years and has been a valuable employee. Recently, there have been several complaints from female coworkers regarding Tom’s constant jokes about women. When confronted about the issue in the past, Tom claimed the comments were all in fun and no harm was intended. However, the women in the department find many of his jokes tasteless and feel they have no place in the workplace. Although you personally feel Tom is just being himself, you must now take a more serious approach to address this issue. Before you speak with Tom about the most recent complaints against him, you would like some guidance from your Human Resources department (HR).
For this assignment, interview someone you know from the HR department within your current or former organization about the ethical dilemma in the above scenario. Explain to your peer that you are working on an assignment for your MBA program and would appreciate his or her insight regarding the most appropriate actions a manager should take based on the company’s Ethics and Business Code of Conduct policies. Since some of the female employees have expressed feelings of being uncomfortable around Tom because of his sexist comments, you are also interested in learning about any potential legal implications relative to sexual harassment and fair treatment for all employees. After your interview, ask yourself the following questions:
What did you learn from your interview? What recommendations did your interviewee make regarding this situation? How will you apply the information you received regarding potential legal implications? Do you feel you are now prepared to address Tom’s behavior? Why or why not?
Submit the interview questions you formulated along with a summary of your findings. Also include a reflection of the interview process and whether or not you feel it was effective.
Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 3-4 pages, not including title and reference pages
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic
