You will find two articles below: "After the wrongdoing: What managers should know about whistleblowing" by Near & Miceli, and "The psychology of whistleblowing" by Dungan, Waytz, & Young. This week I would like for you to discuss these articles by thinking about the factors leading people to blow the whistle on unethical actions within their company. In Near & Miceli, they mention a couple cases from the last twenty years that are well known. Each case has its own reason for the whistleblowing going to the federal government (potential harm and/or misleading information put out by a company) or a non-governmental aligned agency (truth of government action beyond ethical norms). In Dungan et al, they pose loyalty to the company against fairness in order to better understand how personality traits might lead someone to report wrongdoings. 

To receive full credit, I want you to examine both articles and come to a conclusion on whether these authors best represent the dynamics of ethical behavior. Specifically, I would like you to think and write about how you perceive their larger arguments in the contexts of your own willingness or unwillingness to report fraud or wrongdoing.
