advert

Due to the sexual attractiveness of the advertisement and the lads' apparent eye contact with the girls wearing skimpy bikinis, it demonstrates social immorality. The advertisement demonstrates the manager's and the company's overall ideals. It also reflects the decision-personality maker's as well as the company (Badaracco, 7).
In Jim's situation, he should decide to take into account the moral principles of the company he works for. Jim needs to consider more than just the decision's immediate practical repercussions and consider how it will affect the organization's and himself as a whole (Badaracco, 16). It is also vital for Jim to assess the personal considerations before making a choice.

Question 3

When Marco says Jim is doing the right thing; it shows blind trust. The trust given to Jim by Marco might fail to solve problems and breaches of social values and morals within the society. Moreover, it may show lack of respect for Jim as the overall decision maker. The violation may make it difficult to restore human relationships since trust is a social practice (Solomon & Flores, 62).



Question 4

Marco states merely that the advert will generate more sales. Jim has to believe in Marco because their long-term relationship has created their trust. Their economic approach is intended and points the right direction, however, its misleading the society (Solomon & Flores, 63).

Question 5

Jim in his position wants to promote the ethical values of the company. In his decision, Jim is likely to decline the advert since he wants to protect his teenage children. Moreover, refusing the ad will be in line with promoting the ethical values of the company.

Question 6

A dirty hand is considered the act of losing moral sense. Jim is found in swing position where he is the vote that counts for the success of one side. As a thoughtful manager, he has to face business problems. He will face a difficult situation but eventually find a way of solving the problem (Solomon, 3). When the company starts losing its moral values, the position will leave Jim with a dirty hand since he was the swing vote.

Question 7

Sarah can adequately justify her problem why the sexy ad will impact on the children. First, despite the ad not being about a non-alcoholic drink, it insinuates to boost sexual drive among the users. The children may understand that the product being advertised has a sexual function, and so they are likely to take more of the product and engage in more sex.
