intro.docx

A child was born knowing nothing about life. Some people raised him in their own way and made him work in mining and digging underground to get them some money. This poor child accepted the work as they thought him that mining is everything in this world. Is this legal?

The case is about ‘Samsung and Child Labor’, it is about how Samsung batteries is made up Cobalt which young children labor for the metal and then is traded to the company of Samsung to be used for their batteries (Gray,2016). The main issue in the case is that traders use young children to work in mine and make then dig underground for metals to buy cobalt from them and use it for Samsung batteries (Gray,2016). In this paper we will be searching and writing more about Samsung and Child Labor using the Ethical Decision Making, in order to find solutions to the issues that the case is facing. The Ethical Decision Making Model is coherent decision making process that requires thinking critically and carefully before taking any decision. Thus, decision would be more justifiable and accountable.

The Ethical Decision Making is a seven step process which we will be using throughout our case. The first step is identifying the fact, gathering the fact about the case would be more reasonable rather than feeling and emotions. The second step is identifying the ethical issue, we need to recognize the ethical issue and identify it in order to solve it. The third step is identifying the stakeholder; we list all the stakeholders who are affected by the decision taken. The fourth step of the EDM identifies several ethical alternatives, in this step we need to use moral imagination to come up with many alternatives that would be used as a solution. The Fifth step and the most important one is comparing and weighing the alternatives with different ethical theories against each stakeholder, in this step we prove our decision using consequences, principles and personal character. The sixth step is making the decision, where we choose the decision depending on the fifth step. The seventh and last step is monitoring the outcome, in this step we need to monitor and learn from the outcomes.
