BusComm_Ethics

It is un ethical to deemphasize negative test results because it can be very harmful
and potential deadly to the public. If a pharmacy company has a drug that, while it has some benefits, also has extreme side effects or risks, the consumer has the right to know about them. But deemphasizing negatives results the public may not become aware of them and take a drug that is very dangerous for them. No matter the cost benefit for the company and how it affects them financially, the company has an ethical duty to protect human life and give consumers complete knowledge of the drug. Some may claim this is an ethical dilemma, because if the company shows negative results and fewer products sold, the company’s employees could face job loss, salary cut backs, which could affect not only their lives but their families as well. However, I do not think this is a ‘grey’ ethical area. I believe it is clear-cut. No matter the effect of stating negative results for the company or it’s employees it is unethical to risk a life in the name of money.

I would omit ‘pleased as punch’-it sounds rather unprofessional and is an American phrase that they might not now. Also, I would not say we want to ‘sell you America’-it sounds rather forceful and pushy. Also, level best is a strange term to use here I feel). And I would spell out ASAP if you want it to be more formal.(my thoughts)

I wanted to welcome you as soon as possible to our branch in the United States. I am looking forward to being able to shake hands with you in person. I am very excited about getting to know you all and will do my best to ensure that you enjoy your time in the states. (revised email☺)

What do I except from this class?
I am hoping to gain further insight into how to effectivly communicate throughout my life in a proffessional manner with companies, teachers, and employers. I am hoping to learn how to appear polite and friendly in a business setting and be
able to be proffesional at all times, espcially in my communication whether it is in a meeting, email, or phone call. Hopefully these skills, no matter what feild I go into, will be very helpful. I plan to work hard and learn valuable skills! I have never taken any type of business course before so I am looking forward to learning brand new information.
This blog is for my Business writing class! We will be updating weekly.
