In this first personal reflective blog entry, I would like to first
talk about what I feel during the previous class and what I look forward in
this class. Once I know that we are going to have a debate in future, actually I
like this kind of activity because i never try that before. I also would like to have more small activity but I realize
I cannot say that I would like to have many activities if not Ms Diana will say
that nowadays students brings a lot of trouble to her. Some of them want
activities and some of them don’t want. Haha.
In class, Ms Diana asked
us to sit slightly face to each other rather than facing to the white board. It
really different for me and it bring convenient and encourage us to speak out our
opinion and discuss on a topic. So in the future class, maybe we can have a
small discussion on a topic. It can be only 10-15 minutes and in small group. It
can encourage us to think more, and also a preparation for the debate.
I actually have one thought about poor and rich. There are many rich people and some even in top 10 richest. For them, their assets with or without one digit number will actually not bring to much impact to them.(For example 1 millions and 1.1 millions) For me, their living style sometimes is too over. For example, some of them will have one long table of foods as breakfast which they cannot finish while there are some people in this world have nothing to eat and they die because of hunger. There are also some rich man that have more than 10 maids, more than one cars and more than one houses, some even with their own private aeroplane which they might not using. I had thought before with only 1% of their assets, if they can donate out it can help up to 10 units of family to live better. There are some countries that have problem with people in the country some of them are too poor but there are also some that are too rich, then why those who are rich don’t donate some to those who are poor? Then the differences between the people in the country will decrease. But this is only a thought which i start thinking since few years ago and i just feel like to share through this blog. ><
Sometimes through drama, we can saw how the company work even ethically or unethically. Companies main objectives is to gain profits but sometimes there are people who are too greedy where they might make some decision that brings benefits to them without consider about others safety and benefits. For example it happened many times in different countries where there are some contractors they want to save costs and they just use lesser materials where they never concerns about those who are going to stay or move in. Then some cases because of that happens and sometimes it cause death also. That why some time those people that are poor or don’t have power in the society might be scarified and bully by those who are richer and powerful.
Next, I
would like to share my thought about ethics. From organisation site of ethics, we
as a consumer will usually evaluate an organisation through their way of doing
things and their activity. Now in the society, there are many scam which they
tried many ways and come out with different strategy and sometime it is more
systematic and professional compare to a proper business company. I will usually
think why they won’t put the efforts on do the right things? And why they can
cheat other assets that might very important to them. While those people just sit
back and enjoy?
This
situation can also can apply on those ungrateful thieve and robber. Why they
would take the risk of go into jail of stole, steal and rob others belongings
and sometime even don’t bother about others safety. There are recently many
cases happen that those thieves and robber will hurt people before their stole
or rob. This situation was not happen so serious and frequently last century. As
what I heard from my parents, they will even walk to school by themselves for
30 minutes distances away from house and they don’t have to actually close the
doors during day time. Now in this society, not only we have to close our
doors, we still have to close our windows, add locks and also install closed-circuit
television (CCTV). Not only that, nowadays people cannot put their bags in
their car as people might broke their cars window and sometimes no matter you
are carrying a hand bags or back bags you will get rob also.
The level
of safety and securities nowadays is getting decrease and weak and people were
in a risk that they might get rob anytime and anywhere. Why those robber and thieves
would do that? There are also people that are poor and lack of money but they
still working to earn money but those robbers and thieves they just do so to
get money faster. It might be a circle where you rob others for their value
belongings and others might also rob your family members for their belongings
too. Where their ethics go? And since when they had been teach that they can
get what they wants through these “shortcuts”???
After all, I
think I not really thought about personal ethics. For me their ethics might be
influence when they work in a company that come with negative organisation
culture. Or some cause by their environmental but it is impossible to say that
it teach by their teachers. But some they might be influence by their family
influence if their family members also did that. Then only people will have
those negative mind set and it also case that used to happen in an
organisation. For me, i don’t think that lie to others will bring too much
negative impacts unless it consists of cheating others assets and beliefs. What
I mean by lie that not really unethically is u don’t tell others the truth for
their own good or what we actually think.
As what had been taught in class, there are different level of ethics and I think most important ethics is we have to accept and agree with what we do. We actually have to do things that we think are right and will not regret until the day we die so that we can have a meaningful life.

Interesting quotes and good try for the first blog. In future, perhaps you can find a more pressing issue that you are passionate about and discuss it from your viewpoint.
