WEEK 10

Ethics was the subject of the course today. A brief outline of the dilemna we were given is; Would you sell your product to a large company who has offered to pay 50% above retail price, even though this will mean you can no longer offer the product to 10 customers from the public who have already been promised the product at a 10% discount. Actually quite a difficult ethical dilemna to solve! Looking at the issue from many different angles has allowed us come up with multiple solutions to the issue. Suprisingly enough (or not) all of our group members actually felt a different approach was required to solve the problem. personally from the ofset i felt the most viable option would be to offer some form of comprimise to satisfy all parties. More important than the actual outcome itself was the process we went through as a group, comparing and discussing all our different opinions before reaching an agreement as to the best solution. i felt the biggest positve to come out of today was the high standard of the presentation we produced, and our groups presenting skills back in class. Today was one of the first times we all individually knew what we wanted to say to the class, and we were all able to present without the accompanyment of notes. I feel this was due to the fact qwe all had our own opinions on the situation, and were in a way arguing the case of our own opinions. I believe my confidence in the level of our work today was duely noted by the tutor. Atleast we hope so!
