Discussion Question – Whistleblower: An Ethical Dilemma
A whistleblower, by definition, is someone who brings an unethical, immoral, or
illegal business practice to the public’s attention. Whistleblowers have a difficult
time in doing this, and they often find their lives changed because of their actions.
Sometimes they are shunned and also receive death threats. It is common for the
family members to feel the effects of a whistleblower’s behavior.

Dr. Jeffrey Wigand became one of the effects best-known whistleblowers

after his
experience was turned into a movie, The Insider. He proved tobacco companies
were deliberately boosting the nicotine content of cigarettes, making them more
addictive and cancer causing. However, similar to other whistleblowers, he
suffered from tremendous stress and received death threats and other forms of
intimidation for doing the right thing. Do some research on Wigand’s actions.
For the first part of your post;
Firstly,  Assess how Dr. Wigand showed moral intelligence and leadership in this
situation. Assess what you think he did for his own credibility based on his
actions.
Secondly,  Evaluate what you would do if you found an unethical practice in your
workplace. Would your response depend on the severity of the unethical
practice?

For the second effects part of your post,

select any one of the following bullet points.
Attempt to spread the bullet points out among class members (e.g., not have one
bullet point answered by all course participants).
Thirdly,  Provide a couple examples of potential unethical practices in your
organization that could be considered very minor and that people have
come to “accept” as opposed to reporting. How, exactly, does the
organization or its members respond to the unethical practices? Assess any

inconsistencies in the organizational response. Recommend any alternative
response.

Further,  Create a continuum of severity model regarding ethical practices

in
organizations and discuss your model. How did you arrive at the model you
created? Propose how an organization might use your severity continuum
model.
Further,  Justify why you think that people tend to accept some unethical practices
while others are not accepted. Propose three or four key steps an
organization might take to build more consistent ethical decisions and
actions.
Conclude your post with a three or four sentence summary of the most

important point, lesson, or takeaways effects  from your research and analysis

for your
initial post.
Provide a substantive (500–1,000 words) initial discussion post. Justify your
answers with examples and reasoning. Comment on the initial postings of at least
two peers. Your responses to other initial posts must be a 100 to 200 word
minimum each.
By the due date assigned post your initial response to the Discussion Area.
Before the end of the week, begin commenting on at least two of your peers’
