          What is white collar crime and why has it become such a widespread problem?
Selected Answer: Version 1: White collar crime describes crime that occurs within the workplace. Usually, white collar crimes are nonviolent crimes that include acts of embezzlement, money laundering and/or misappropriating funds in some form or another. White collar crime has become a widespread problem because they tend to occur when organizational cultures do not have a great sense of control over its employees. In addition, such crimes have the tendency to transpire through intricate networks that can be very difficult for a company to decipher and decode.

Version 2: White collar crimes are usually committed by people who are considered respectable and of high status in the society and/or their professional life. These crimes are financial in nature and are nonviolent. These crimes might involve bribes, money laundering and misusing organizational fund for personal gains. These crimes are hard to stop and widespread because they are done by people on high ranks and who are not usually doubted for wrongdoings. These people have personal connections and networks that enable them to deceive the law.

  • Question 10

3 out of 5 points

          Discuss the distinctions between the rule and act categories of utilitarianism and deontology. Why do you think some people evaluate the morality of an action on the basis of the action itself, whereas others evaluate it in terms of its conformity to particular moral principles or rules of conduct?

 
Selected Answer: Version 1: The rule and act categories of utilitarianism aim to seek the greatest good within an organization. This means that every employee is making decisions that match the same ethical standards as their fellow counterpart. This assures that every employee is operating in similar manners. Some people may evaluate the morality of an action on the basis of itself because ethics is something that can be interpreted differently amongst a group of individuals. Not everyone has the ability to determine what is morally right from the behavior that is morally wrong.

 

Version 2: The rule categories of utilitarianism focuses on an action in the context of the greatest good that this action might bring. If an action is conforming to a rule and it guides towards a greater good, the action is considered as good. On the other hand, act utilitarianism deals with the consequences of that specific act and its means and not a broader context.

For some people end justifies the means and good results are appreciated even if bad means are adopted to achieve them. For others, the means and goals are both important and they do not believe that bad means should be used to get good results.
