CSRGOVE entry#6
For the sixth week of my CSRGOVE class, a case was presented in front of the class which is all about Facebook conducting social psychological experiments on their users without them really knowing about it. Although it was stated from their terms and conditions, it is really not that of an ethical way of gathering data. Well let’s be honest who even reads the agreement Facebook handed us out. While having different ethical issues such as user’s emotions should not be controlled by fixed highlighted posts on their personal newsfeeds. Second is It socially misleads the public through the discretion of its consent. Lastly is, something this personally inclined should be met clearly and not buried under their terms of service. Thus affecting stakeholders such us Users/Members (most important), advertisers, employees, governments, communities, and Mark Zuckerberg. Therefore, Facebook should do something about it, we talked about in class. In conclusions there was three strong alternatives, have the consent pop up subsequently on a separate and autonomous page so users and members can properly discern and understand the terms Facebook is requesting. Next is to Ignore ethical issues and continue to conduct these personal and intrusive experiments on users and members knowing majority are oblivious to the fact that they’re emotionally being tested on. (buried in terms of service) and lastly Conclude all experiments until further ethical measures are taken while a survey is relayed throughout users/members for opinions and reactions. With these alternatives it shows how the ethical decision is always hard, as seen from different cases discussed from the past few weeks. It really brings me into reality that ethical can’t always be equals to profit or even improvements since Facebook was only doing this to become better and let us face it, it is merely Facebook’s fault since users already agreed to this kind of treatment from Facebook. In the end being ethical is more important than being innovative and bringing up better service to customers. In relation to being a Corporate Social Responsible organization, Facebook should always listen to their customers even though they are at right. Even though it is a Psychological test that will not somehow damage or affect user’s data, but the personal researches will. Although still stated it is somehow against the human rights of having a private life since Facebook is already considered to be a personal data that can be shared from other people if wanted to. As a relation to being a corporate social responsible and abiding law organization Facebook is, they are in the neutral side of this therefore making it hard for Facebook to determine how improvement for test will make their operations better and as what was mentioned from the alternatives. It is a very CSR-y decisions since Facebook can have the most ethical way to do something to satisfy both legal and economical life in terms of innovation and improving service to users. Again as learned from the course, sacrifices will always be made whether profit or the reputation will suffer from it.

First blog entry for SHURMAN
A leader must have a code of ethics to adhere to because of course a leader could not stand alone thinking if doing the right thing, sometimes there are conflicts in what he/she is doing. The code of ethics is a help for a leader to become more efficient and effective leader that will soon help the business to be a successful one. Business leader needs to reflect on his/ her purpose because it will affect the organization, thus affecting the business operation. He/she must think of the actions she must do first and by this, she can know if the purpose she's doing is effective to the organization with it's positive outcome. It is also important for a business leader to guide the directions of his/her organization is taking so that she may take control if what is happening. No directions can be clear to the organization and there will be short comings too. It is important to guide so that he/she can assess the organization of what is the right thing to do. It is important to possess integrity in his/her dealings with others because it reflects to his/her commitment in his/her work. It would show completeness and wholeness wherein the person or group she/he's dealing with him would believe him/her and even spread the word of how she/he is doing the right thing despite of all the circumstances.
