Question:
You are to take on the role of a "whistleblower" in your own industry--if you aren't currently employed, think about the industry that you intend to be a part of in the future. In your role as "whistleblower," you must compose a 1500 to 2000 w ord article that will be published in The New Yorker wherein you expose the possibility of widespread complicity in evil that could take place in your industry or workplace. In your article, please be sure to answer the following questions:
What is your industry? What kind of work/service(s) does it intend to offer when it is well-functioning? What leadership roles are important to its well-functioning?
What is the evil that this industry has the potential to perpetrate? That is, how could the intention of the industry become corrupted? What would the industry look like when corrupted? For the sake of what ends could it be corrupted?
Aside from high-level executives, what other leaders and workers would have to be complicit in the corruption in order to carry out the evil efficiently? That is, who would be the "little Eichmanns" of this situation? What would motivate them to "turn a blind eye" or "numb their conscience" in the service of the company's now corrupt exercise?
If you occupied one of these leadership roles, would you have the courage to say "no"?
