Question
A potential ethical dilemma Assume you are a recent graduate of Yale Law School who finished in the top ten percent of your class. Your lifelong passion is to preserve the environment. Consequently, you hope to practice environmental law when you graduate. In the meantime, you have over $100,000 of student loans that you have to start paying back six months after your graduation. You have interviewed with several environmental law firms, all of which are offering starting salaries averaging $63,000. You also interviewed with Acme Chemical Corporation, an organization that is not exactly sympathetic to environmental concerns. But, Acme offers you a job as its in-house counsel at a starting salary of $157,000 per year. So, you are trying to decide whether you should suppress your desire to defend environmental concerns and take the higher paying job with Acme. If you take the job, one of your duties with Acme would be to go to court and get restraining orders against environmental protesters -many of whom are friends of yours (or were), who are as passionate about saving the environment as you are. Required: 1) Discuss two reasons why you would take the job. 2) Discuss two reasons why you would not take the job. 3) Discuss what the easier position for you to argue was. Be sure to discuss how the agent's duties of obedience, loyalty, performance and notification would impact your decision making process in parts one and two. Specifications: An APA paper, double spaced, 12 font, 1 inch margin (top, bottom, left and right), and at least three (3) sources.Explanation / Answer
i would not take the job at ACME chemicals .
1. REASON FOR TaKING JOB
it would help me to pay my loans easily and within less period of time , which will be beneficial for me .
apart from the payment of loan , i would get other benefits from the job like good salary , bonuses and other added benefits
2. REASON FOR NOT TAKING THE JOB
it will be against my morals and my lifelong passion to preserve the environment
secondly my friends who are as passionate as me to preserve the environment , i will not go against them to get the restraining order .
3. EASIER POSITION TO AGRUE
my easier position to argue was that the support of 1st company who offered less income but was in support of the preservation of environment . I from the very beginning of my adulthood was concerned towards it and is passionate about it. Me and my friends have joined so many capaigns for the same and are ready to fight (no violence) against people who comes in our way. Being such kind of person i, myself would never gom against my friwnds for just some amount of money. Loans can be easily paid off by me with the job but it may take some more time but i won't do any such thing to go against the environment .
