706 Words3 Pages

The issue at hand here is the ethical decision whether Jack, the new movie theater attendant, should stand by his ethics and follow company policy even though no one else follows it, or if he should follow his peer’s actions of breaking policy to save a few dollars. The employee hand books states that employees are not allowed to bring family and friend to watch movies for free and employees must pay full price for concessions. However, Jack soon saw these rules being broken by other employees and even management: they brought family and friends into the movies for free, and brought personal containers for soda and popcorn to avoid paying. Jack is currently facing a conundrum on whether he should start bringing his friends to free movies and …show more content…

One of the parties involved, and are held to blame for this unethical behavior by employees are the upper management who bring guests without paying admission. Upper management are the ones who set the example for their employees to follow and are held more accountable for errors, both company and individual. By setting the example that behavior like this is acceptable and will not be punished, the employees do not believe their actions are wrong even though it breaks the code created by management in the employee handbook.

The image of choir boys makes many think of a group of young innocent boys, but as William Golding, in the Lord of the Flies, shows even the most angelic people can mentally change. Golding chose to make Jack and some of the other children choir boys to show that when people face fear and a lack of moral guidance even young “angelic” people will fall into a life of evil and savagery. Lord of the Flies presents the idea that innocence is lost not when you turn a certain age, but rather when you question authority and civilization. In an ironic twist it is Jack, one of the choir boys, who actually becomes a violent dictator. At the beginning of the book all of the boys took a vote to see who should be chief and Ralph won; but he knew that

In the eyes of children, parents can be either viewed as their heroes or their real life villains. Being a parent is undeniably one of the most challenging tasks that a human can undertake due to the lack of guidelines and standards established for those parenting roles. As a result, parents are able to take different approaches to handling their children. These “different approaches” can either be praised or derided, but when a virtuous parent is in sight, their timeless efforts are to be appreciated.
