Ethics

Through my research about the Challenger disaster, I learned that the littlest thing can cause the biggest destruction. It took one little O-ring and the cold weather to destroy millions and millions of dollars worth of a NASA space craft and of course the seven lives of the crew members aboard. Every day people witness breaches in ethical judgment and say nothing. This is how small, almost insignificant things like an O-ring turn into a disaster. It really bothers me that this is happening more and more frequently. The easiest way to prevent this is to hire employees with good character. It starts with recruiting. Another way to help prevent this is a drop box of some kind. It would allow employees to anonymously inform management of any wrongdoings. I just hope that we can all learn from others mistakes and not let a problem in the future "snowball" into a huge issue.
