As engineers, we are under any rule of any kind to which we have to respond to. We are talking about our commitment as engineers to the society, to the company we work at, to ourselves, to the law and so on.
If we intent on constructing and shaping the world as we practice our profession, it is obvious to face up to any ethic issue. Beginning with the most basic human instinct “not to harm others”.
Our first fundamental cannon is:
“Engineers shall hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public and shall strive to comply with the principles of sustainable development in the performance of their professional duties”.
So, once we are aware about all this and once we are practicing our profession, we can wonder what is happening around the world and why for so long.
We are going to talk about some facts so it is not new to say big corporations are evil. They break any law as it exists. We can talk about the technology industry, the energy and petrol corporations, the pharmaceutical multinationals, clothing industry, among so many others.
Today we are going to discuss about this corporations and what is our roll in those fields, we are going to discuss some facts about these corporations and what can we do.
Some discussions:
· Do you think describing companies as "evil" is right?
· What do you know about COLTAN, BIOFUELS, and SWEATSHOPS?
· What would you do if you knew you are working for an unethical corporation?
· What options do we have then to live in better world?
