Ethics : Lesser of 2 Evils?

by Jacob Pang on 7/20/2007

Recently, my last post was about China’s growing pains. Guess the pains are not stemming from direct capitalism, but more from ethical point of view as the pressure mount to perform well at a job.

The “fake pork bun” scandal which was widely reportedly worldwide was a hoax created by a worker at a television station. This only goes to show you that workplace pressure and stress is certainly at an all time high in China. Resulting in workers who try to succeed at all costs leading to such cases whereby they might resort to said unethical behavior in order to excel.

In a way, this is partly a social problem as it reflects on China’s rapid advancement in terms of Capitalism without the proper education or rite of passage. However that being said, it is miles better than having unethical businessman who are willing to subject other fellow beings to risks for the sake of earning a tidier profit.
