You have previously addressed questions about the use of social media and their negative and positive effects on people's ethical behaviors. To deemphasize the negative effects in communication opportunities provided by social media, how can specific organizations using social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Blogging, promote ethical behavior among employees, users, and people in general? Be specific in your recommendations; writing a line of good thoughts or guesses will not make it. Therefore, to answer this question, add a statement you would publicize in a social media outlet that promotes ethical behavior among employees, users, and people in general.

Bribery is rampant in some industries and countries, involving private business and government officers.

a) what is bribery?

b) why is it unethical and, in most countries also illegal?

c) Assume you were recruited by a high-tech company as a local manager in South Texas. After a few months in the job, you discover that several transactions with buyers involved bribery (some buyers paid higher prices, but those payments are significantly lower in company records, reason why you suspect that part of the payments were bribes that benefited the executives that were in charge of the transactions). As new executive at a local level, would you continue such transactions, that is, continue using bribery (noting that you would now become part of the beneficiaries of the existing bribery)?

d) what would you really do?
